The Easiest Ice Cream You’ll Ever Make!
Actually, it is the only ice cream I make, since it doesn’t require an ice cream machine or patience. This ice cream provides the perfect, nourishing dessert to appease your instant gratification tendencies.
If you peruse Pinterest or the health-food-blog-scene, then you are most likely familiar with pure banana ice cream. This treat requires only frozen bananas and a blender or food processor to create a creamy, naturally sweet, “I can’t believe it’s not dairy!” result.
Banana Ice Cream: The Next Level
I like including a few special additions to my blender banana ice cream for a rich and exotic result. First, I add sunflower seed butter for creamy richness and to slow the absorption of the natural sugars. It also offers a chai color and complements the spices. Of course, you can use whatever nut butter you want. I would suggest cashew or almond butter, but not peanut butter (which has a lot of natural toxins and the taste isn’t right here). Next, I include a few spices for the chai flavor.
Then something magical happens. The whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. Banana, nut butter and spices suddenly turn into a cause for celebration!
Are you on Pinterest? Then pin this recipe reminder!
I usually use my sun-flour in place of the seed/nut butter, since it is made from soaked and dehydrated sunflower seeds and therefore the nutrients are more bio-available.
Easy Banana Chai Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 1 large, very ripe bananas, frozen
- 1 Tbs. nut or seed butter (almond, sunflower seed, cashew...)
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp. each: cardamom and ground ginger
- Pinch of salt and ground cloves
Instructions
- Whirl everything in a blender until smooth and creamy. It may help to let the bananas soften at room temperature for about 5 minutes. Enjoy immediately or freeze it for later.
Notes
There's no need to be persnickety with the spices. Just add a pinch of everything, being more generous with the cinnamon. Taste and add more spices if necessary. Also, that little pinch of salt is important to bring out the flavors.

Have you made banana ice cream before? What are your favorite additions?
I have made it before and I have added non-dairy milk and cocoa powder for a chocolate version. My nieces and nephews gobble it up!
Mmmm… a chocolate variation sounds delish!
Non dairy milk is a processed food usually including chemicals. It’s not “food” at all and defeats the purpose!
@Amber K- My boys LOVE when I add the cocoa powder.
@Lauren- Have you tried this base/flavors as a “milk shake”? Can add almond milk or hemp milk? What do you think?
Yes, I have added coconut milk to this for a milkshake texture. Almond milk would taste delicious in this!
How about a few coconut sprinkles, or a bit of coconut oil, or both?
love this recipe! so easy and yummy!
WOW! Oh my gosh, that is SO good!! I’ve been dying to try this recipe and tonight was the night! All I had was peanut butter so that’s what I used (PB and Banana are one of my favorites anyway
So shocked that it was so creamy, it really ‘feels’ like ice cream! I’m still drooling! haha! Can’t wait to make it again! Thanks! I love your website!
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it! Isn’t the texture amazing? Just like ice cream. My family didn’t believe me when I told them this was only bananas!
Looks yummy! Our blender is pretty lame so I think i’ll try this in our food processor. We have a vegan restaurant in town that serves banana soft serve. It’s just whipped bananas and it tastes amazing! Can’t wait to try it with nut butter and spices.
I made mine in a mini food processor and it worked great! And that is SO cool that you can find banana soft serve at a local restaurant.
This was so delicious! I had to ‘test’ it out tonight before we make it for a birthday celebration tomorrow, and I think it will be a hit with our whole family. Thanks again for the great recipe.
Amazing!!! I got a craving for ice cream and remembered this post. Can’t believe a banana can be so good!
Not much of a healthy eater, but I love chai, and this looks amazing. I think I will give it a try this week.
Hi there! Can you make up this mix before you freeze the banana & then freeze it after for the same effect? Thank you!
Great recipe, I have a friend who is lactose intolerant but loves ice cream. I will be forwarding this to her, or maybe I will save it and surprise her with hit next time she visits.
Just made this…. my little one and I ate the whole thing right out of the food processor. Never even made it into a bowl. Still licking my lips. Thanks for sharing…. I love the chai flavor… reminds me of my trip to India.
J just tried this out and it is amazing. I had it with poached peaches. I used a chai mix that I already had and peanut butter and it worked well. just what i have been looking for as a subsistence for cream and icecream.

Really great Lauren. I’ve been making banana sorbet for years but had never thought of doing it Chai style
Love your addition of the fats via seed butter too. Terrific!
I’m wondering about the ripeness of the banana before freezing. Would you recommend deeply spotted or completely brown?
I just finished eating this recipe of Banana Chai Ice Cream. I’m in Love! The texture is perfect, I would say, even better than regular ice-cream. Thank you! My day is sweeter and healthier now.
Hi, I make sorbet ice-cream with frozen ripe bananas and strawberries for my son. I disguise his supplements in it. I use a sorbet machine from princess which I love as it’s really easy to use and better still easy to clean. The recipe looks delicious but would it fit in with LOD? The nuts being high in oxalate. Just made your salmon blinies by the way, they were delicious thanks for sharing them.
This is great! I was going to do my own recipe for this banana ice cream later this week. I hadn’t considered spices though. Looks tasty!
Attractive section of content. I just stumbled upon your weblog and in accession capital to claim that
I get actually loved account your weblog posts. Anyway I’ll be subscribing to your augment or even I fulfillment you access constantly quickly.
Hi there, I enjoy reading all of your article
post. I wanted to write a little comment to support you.
I love the sound of this recipe! Since this recipe has no liquid ingredients, I was just wondering what blender you use.
I made your recipe tonight, and added a little bit of coconut cream, pecans (had I had more time I would have made candied pecans with honey), vanilla powder (from Organic Traditions) and toasted coconut flakes. Delicious.
@Sophie, I use my food processor, at first it makes a big clump but if you keep faith it will turn into soft ice ”cream” after a minute or two.
