Print Recipe

A quick and easy no-churn banana ice cream recipe that uses overripe bananas and simple ingredients to create a creamy, dreamy frozen treat without an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium overripe bananas, peeled and sliced, frozen if possible
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 3 medium overripe bananas, then freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
  2. Place the frozen banana slices into a food processor or blender. Add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and blend until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. In a chilled mixing bowl, whip 1 cup (240 ml) cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Gently fold 1/2 cup (120 ml) sweetened condensed milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the banana puree.
  5. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the banana mixture using a spatula, gently and slowly to keep the airiness.
  6. Transfer the combined mixture into a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, cover, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
  7. Remove the ice cream from the freezer about 5 minutes before scooping to soften slightly. Use a warm spoon or ice cream scoop for best results.

Notes

Freeze bananas fully for best creamy texture. Stop whipping cream at soft peaks to avoid grainy texture. Gently fold whipped cream into banana mixture to keep airiness. Use lemon juice to brighten flavor and prevent browning. Let ice cream soften 5-10 minutes before scooping for easier serving.
