Finally, you don’t even need an ice cream maker. A simple food processor of blender will do. So this is great if you’re in a hurry, or if your kitchen is not a fancy kitchen, you’re a student in a dorm or what not.
Let me sum this up. This delicious, one ingredient banana ice cream recipe is:

- Takes 10 minutes to make
- Doesn’t require an ice cream maker

This is how to do it.
You see, banana naturally contains a lot of pectin. Pectin is the kind of fiber that helps jams and marmalade “set”. Because of that, when you blend bananas, it makes an amazing texture that feels even better than artisan-made ice creams. Why? Banana happens to give a smooth texture that is perfect for this recipe.
THE TRICK FOR ONE INGREDIENT BANANA ICE CREAM RECIPE:
Make sure your bananas are nice, ripe, and sweet. Slice them and freeze the slices solid. Then process them in a blender or food processor. At one point, that’s where the magic happens. The texture gets soft and smooth and delicious.
If you don’t own an ice cream maker, all you have to do is to freeze the ice cream again until serving time. It’s fine and it works.
If you do own an ice cream maker, then go ahead and give it a 5-10 minute churn to further increase the beautiful texture and make this recipe over the top.
That’s it. This is a 10 minute deal. And only one ingredient is used

ONE INGREDIENT BANANA ICE CREAM RECIPE
Prep Time: 10 mins
Course: Dessert
Servings: 1 quart
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
Instructions
1. Make sure you choose sweet and soft bananas; they work much better.
Peel the bananas and quickly slice them. Put the bananas on a sheet pan, and freeze for about 2 hours.
Blend the frozen banana slices in a food processor. Pulse a few times to it’s well blended.
Keep on blending until you get a very smooth consistency.
At this point, the bananas look blended, creamy, and have the consistency of a soft-serve ice cream. You can enjoy it as is, or freeze overnight for a real ice cream.
If you’re interested in an even better texture, use an ice-cream maker to achieve a real, perfect ice cream.
Transfer to an airtight container and freeze overnight.
To serve, simply take out of the freezer, and scoop in a bowl. You can add nuts like toasted walnuts, macadamia, or almonds. You can even add some chopped up dark chocolate pieces, as long as the chocolate contains over 72% of cocoa.
BANANA ICE CREAM, DESSERTS, AND WEIGHT LOSS
What do one ingredient banana ice cream, desserts, and weight loss have in common?.. If you’re familiar with our work, you know that we love to eat, and that we promote a great “diet” over exercise. That’s because losing weight is 80% diet and only 20% exercise. So you can exercise all you want, if you are not eating well, then you won’t lose the weight.
That’s why the recipe I just handed over to you, one ingredient banana ice cream recipe, is important. It is only part of a great way of eating that we’ve been promoting for a long time now. We believe that eating great food, including eating desserts, should be part of losing weight.
Part of our weight loss program is actually focused on eating desserts. Diets don’t work. At least not on the long run. That’s why restricting yourself and avoiding dessert at all cost will not work for you, or for anyone for that matter. Instead, we promote great tasting desserts made with clean ingredients.
These fat-burning dessert recipes, we compiled them into a cookbook that you might want to check out. So if you’ve been denying yourself chocolate, ice cream (including the one ingredient banana ice cream recipe above), cookies, and brownies for years with no results to show for it, then we have great news for you… Click on the image below to have access to more delicious, fat-burning dessert recipes.

This reminds me of banana pancakes, gluten free, (but not paleo)
Two ingredients:
a very ripe banana and 1 egg blended together until smooth and pourable.
Cook in a skillet until brown and firm, like any other pancake.
Sweet, easy and very delicious!
Cool. Thanks for the tip. Two ingredients for a pancake recipe is pretty good! LOL
And that’s true, thanks for reminding me that for some “hard-core” paleo enthusiasts, starchier fruits like bananas are avoided. But most paleo peeps enjoy bananas enthusiastically. I think bananas are just great though. Full of fiber, it’s amazing at breakfast or as a snack.
