Servings

400 g

Banana

4 pcs
Cream

200 ml
Powdered sugar

2 tbsp
Lemon juice

2 tbsp

Preparation

Step 1

Peel the bananas, cut them into slices and place them in the freezer for several hours.

Step 2

Place the frozen bananas in a blender and blend until smooth.

Advice

Frozen bananas are very hard, so they can easily damage your blender while blending. To prevent damage, slice the fruit into thin slices first. After removing the bananas from the freezer, let them thaw slightly. Blend the puree in several batches, adding a small amount of frozen bananas each time.

Step 3

Pour the cooled heavy cream into the puree.

Step 4

Add powdered sugar. You can replace the powdered sugar with a small amount of regular sugar. It's used not for sweetness, but to give the ice cream its characteristic texture.

Step 5

Squeeze out a tablespoon of lemon juice.

Step 6

Blend the ingredients until smooth. Transfer the ice cream to any convenient freezer container. Seal the ice cream tightly.

Step 7

Place in the freezer for 2 hours. Every half hour, remove the mixture and lightly blend it. Then leave in the freezer for 3-4 hours until completely set.

Step 8

Banana ice cream is ready!

Design and submission

Presenting ice cream beautifully for a holiday table is no problem. We've all seen it served in cafes and restaurants.

Make sure you have a few elegant bowls in your kitchen. Alternatively, you could use a wide champagne flute, a short glass, or a double-bottomed coffee cup.

Use an oven mitt or a regular spoon to form ice cream balls. Dip the tool in warm water before forming the ball.

Decoration options:

chocolate chips;
coconut flakes;
caramel;
almond shavings;
chocolate sauce;
ganache;
crushed sugar cookies;
powdered sugar;
berries;
pieces of fruit.

The decor can be combined, but without fanaticism.

A sprig of mint is a surefire option. It adds a touch of zest to any dish. Get creative and get creative!

If you haven't yet asked yourself, "Do I have any bananas in my fridge?" I suggest you do so right now. Leave the treat in the freezer overnight, and in the morning you'll have banana ice cream waiting for you, setting the mood for the whole day.
