Is it possible to have ice cream that is both delicious and healthy? We are all for it.

The internet has recently been introduced to the “magic” one-ingredient banana ice cream. This recipe is keto, vegan, and dairy-free. It’s also gluten-free. There are no prizes to guess the single ingredient.

The recipe for this one-ingredient banana ice cream has been known in certain circles (we’re talking to you, vegans) for many years. However, the American website Salon published an article about it that encouraged people around the world to try it.

This genius trick has been in the spotlight for quite some time.

Make banana ice cream with just one ingredient

1. Freeze ripe bananas.

2. Blend the frozen bananas until they are ice cream consistency in a food processor.

It’s really that simple. The water-soluble pectin in bananas breaks down after blending, and the soft serve is created. Here’s our super simple banana soft serve if you need specific amounts. This recipe only has two ingredients, but the lemon juice adds a bit of extra flavor and makes it easier to blend.
