Banana ice cream with only 3 ingredients and you can make it without an ice cream maker, it’s really hard to find something easier. If you want to prepare something fresh and quick, always keep some fruit pieces like banana in the freezer, or strawberries and prepare a very light and fresh dessert with just milk. If you have a lot of fruit and some start to ripen too much, don’t throw it away, put it in the freezer always ready to prepare a dessert in a few minutes like the one I propose today. A fake ice cream but with the same consistency and the same goodness, gluten free and low in calories. Ideal for everyone, if we replace the milk with almond milk, we have a fantastic vegan ice cream.

Steps to Make Banana Ice Cream
A few days ago, I put peeled and irregularly sliced bananas in the freezer, and today I used them to make banana ice cream. For this ice cream, you don’t need an ice cream maker, just a blender.
I put all three ingredients in the blender, the frozen banana cut into pieces, the unsweetened cocoa, and the milk, and I pulsed the blender for a few seconds intermittently.
The banana ice cream is ready to be consumed, fresh, sweet, and without the need to add sugar.
If you prefer a more solid consistency, put it in the freezer until ready to use.
The banana ice cream is ready, serve it with orange pieces.
