Tips for the Best Banana Ice Cream
Use ripe bananas with brown spots for maximum natural sweetness.
Add a tablespoon of peanut butter or cocoa powder for extra flavor.
If the mixture is too thick to blend, add a splash of milk.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
