Banana Nutella “Ice Cream”

June 1, 2011 by Amy 15 Comments

Banana Nutella "Ice Cream"

About a year ago, I bookmarked the popular one ingredient banana ice cream recipe. I usually don’t let bananas get super ripe in my house, because we go through them fairly quickly, but a couple of weeks ago, we forgot that I purchased a bunch to eat, and they were far too ripe to just eat on their own. I was about to make banana bread when I remembered this idea.

If you’re on a diet and you miss ice cream, I can tell you the texture is spot-on. It’s soft, creamy, frozen and very sweet, since the bananas are ripe. Since I’m a dieting rebel, though, I added a few tbsp. of nutella to the soft serve mixture. It was like eating marbled ice cream…very yummy and not too too bad for you!

If you have ripe bananas and a few extra minutes on your hands, definitely try this banana “ice cream”. It’s just too easy not to!

Ingredients:

  • 4-6 very ripe bananas
  • 3 tbsp. nutella

Directions:

  1. Slice bananas into small bites and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  2. Freeze the bananas for 2-3 hours or overnight.
  3. Place the banana slices in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
  4. Place the “ice cream” in a bowl and swirl in the nutella.
  5. Freeze for a couple of hours until set, if you’d prefer a scoop-able ice cream. Eat immediately if you prefer soft serve.

    This looks amazing – my husband is going to be so excited when I make it – we live in France and he has a new found obsession with Nutella. Thanks for a great looking recipe!

    i make this all the time for my fiance! he’s totally obsessed with it, and i usually make a big batch so there’s plenty in the freezer whenever he wants some!

    also, i use this banana ice cream as a base for a healthy-ish milkshake. all i do is use 2 scoops of the ice cream, 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk, some vanilla extract, and maybe a dash of a liqueur. blend it up, and it’s a pretty tasty substitute for a real-deal milkshake when you’re dieting!
