Banana Ice Cream Ingredients
- Bananas ā Freeze the ripest bananas you can. They should be sweet enough so you wonāt need to use any sweetener.
- Cocoa powder ā Use your favorite, whether itās raw cacao, regular cocoa, or Dutch chocolate. This batch was processed with Dutch cocoa, which makes it ultra dark and chocolatey, but typically, I like to use raw cacao powder.
- Splash of non-dairy milk or water ā This can be any type of plant-based milk or Vegan Cream, preferably unsweetened; this will help get the frozen mixture moving.
How To Make No Ice Maker Banana Ice Cream
- Simply place 2 ā 3 frozen bananas in the bowl of your food processor or high-speed blender, along with 1 tablespoon of cacao powder, and blend until creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides every so often. Takes only 3 to 5 minutes.
- Serve right away with sliced fruit, cacao nibs, nuts or seeds. Enjoy often!
Top Tips
- Add protein. Try adding 2 ā 4 tablespoons of nut butter, such as peanut, almond, cashew, or sunflower butter, for a boost of protein. It will also make it ultra-creamy!
- Freeze some for later. Banana ice cream can be stored in a covered container and kept in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Notes
A splash or two of milk or water will help the mixture move a little better when blending. For completely raw, use homemade plant milk, or a splash of water is fine too!
To Freeze: Keep this ice cream in the freezer by storing in an airtight freezer safe container. Freeze for at least six hours or overnight for a hardened ice cream, let thaw 10 min or so before scooping. Double this recipe and freeze for convenience.
Keep those bananas! Instead of throwing out bananas I always freeze them for making smoothies later and this will be a new reason to pull out a frozen banana or two. Doesnāt get much simpler that this.

This ice cream is absolutely deeelish! I made it because hubby and I are doing a 10 day raw raw cleanse. I also made some raw walnut brownie crumble and put on top. So simple and easy to make. Freezes well too. Definitely a keeper!
So tasty and easy! My husband and I topped it with peanut butter and LOVED it…thanks for sharing!
I just made this most delicious ice-creamy desert. Like another I had to add about 1 Tablespoon of almond milk to get a nice consistency. I recently upgraded my Bamix and have the SliceSy, so I tried it in that. Perfect…. and better than getting my huge processor out with all the fiddly attachments. I love all your recipes. I have been vegan for a year, and mostly go to your website and bought your e-book too.
I love how simple and fabulous this dessert is.
I tried this, but my ninja couldn’t take the bananas without a little liquid and so I added enough almond milk to make it come together, also added a dash of agave, it was perfect! tasted like a raw/ healthy frosty! Thanks!!
Ijust made it! Im new at eating raw, and this ice cream hit the spot. Loved it!
Welcome to the wonderful world of raw goodness! I'm so glad you loved this…it's perfect anytime of day. Thanks for stopping by to share. :)
Thank you for this. I love it. I made it regularly now, after finding it here a couple of months ago. I keep bananas in the freezer so I can whip it up in a couple of minutes!
Perfect…great habit! Cheers :)
Do you have to use a blender? Would a processor work?
Yes, a food processor will work great too! I will add that to the recipe, thank you. Enjoy your ice cream. :)
I just had a bowl a few hours ago, same way with three bananas. It is so delicious and simple…a keeper for sure !
This looks awesome and so simple.
