A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of heading to Detroit for the weekend. Not only is it where my bestie Sarah lives (or used to live!), but also a wonderful city that’s getting revamped with delicious new restaurants, shopping boutiques and entrepreneurship while still keeping its culture in tact. It makes me so [...]

Delicious homemade 1-ingredient vegan banana ice cream made without an ice cream maker. The perfect homemade banana ice cream recipe!
I’ve wanted to learn how to make ice cream with bananas forEVER, it seems. I think I must’ve pinned like a gazillion banana ice cream recipes on Pinterest over the past couple years, yet I’ve never gotten around to trying it.
The idea of making creamy, delicious ice cream with a … banana … seems so unreal and impossible.
Like, huh?
But, alas, it’s totally a real thing. I’ve seen the light, folks, and this stuff is for realz.
It’s like stupid easy, too.
I used my food processor (which I totally love), but I’ve also heard it’s possible to use a powerful blender.
Either way, today’s recipe is gonna show you how to make banana ice cream without an ice cream maker. Bonus: all you need for this ice cream is 1 ingredient. How cool is that?
Get it…cool? Haha.
The short answer to that is: keep it simple!
I recently posted a Cantaloupe Sorbet recipe on the blog that only uses 4 ingredients and that recipe kinda blew my mind.
Ever since I have started eating clean, I have had to really open my mind to all the possibilities beyond what I was used to.
After your mind blows up at all the stuff that is loaded with granulated sugar, refined flour, and unnecessary chemicals, there becomes a kind of peace that you can figure out anything you need as long as you get creative.
Like this banana ice cream, for example. Instead of using all that heavy cream, dairy, sweeteners, and processed ingredients, why not make use of the natural creaminess of the bananas and whip them into rich and silky ice cream?

And the coolest part about getting all creative on this homemade banana “ice cream” is how darn simple it is. One friggin’ ingredient ice cream, people!
Ok, Lacey, I think they get the point now. Like, stop.
My bad. I get really excited sometimes.
So, you’re probably asking yourself, “Is this really gonna taste like ice cream?”
And the answer is yes…and no.
Yes, it tastes like a sweet, cool, creamy banana soft serve ice cream that’s kinda chewy and creamy.
No, because there’s no “cream” in this ice cream. So, it’s not gonna have that luscious, thick, creamy *cough* high fat, over-processed *cough* stuff.
Not that we don’t love our regular ice cream every once in a while. Because we so do. Every once in a while…
Bananas can be frozen for weeks and they won’t go bad. Peel and cut the bananas in smaller pieces before freezing and you won’t have to thaw them when you’re ready to make banana ice cream. Just make sure you place the bananas in an airtight bag or container.
As you can see in the pics, I added a sprinkling of ground cinnamon on my banana ice cream, but that was just for some contrast in the photos. And, frankly, because I love cinnamon. The cinnamon is totally optional, though, and isn’t even listed as an ingredient in the recipe.
That being said, all hail cinnamon đ
And 1 ingredient banana ice cream without ice cream makers!
Because: yes.

While visiting our pal Jeanette recently in LA, I had a curried chickpea dish at Vibe that left me craving all the flavors when I got back home.
So I got to work and kept things simple. This dish requires just 30 minutes and 1 pot to create. It’s really stripped down to the essentials while keeping big flavor intact! Let’s cook, friends.
