Ingredients
Fruits
- 3 ripe bananas
Dry Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder
Liquid/Sweetener
- 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Slice Bananas: Peel and slice the ripe bananas into small pieces to make them easier to blend once frozen.
- Freeze Bananas: Place the sliced bananas in a single layer on a tray or plate and freeze for at least 3 hours or overnight to ensure they are completely frozen.
- Blend Bananas: Transfer the frozen banana pieces to a food processor and blend until the texture resembles mashed potatoes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides for even blending.
- Add Matcha and Condensed Milk: Add the 2 teaspoons of matcha powder and 1 tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk to the food processor and blend again until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with a soft-serve ice cream consistency.
- Serve or Freeze: Serve the ice cream immediately for a soft texture, or transfer it to a container and freeze for another 1.5 hours if a firmer consistency is desired.
Notes
- Thaw frozen bananas for a few minutes before blending to make processing easier.
- Stop the food processor occasionally to scrape down the sides for smooth blending.
- For a healthier version, skip the sweetened condensed milk or use it as a topping to control sweetness.
- Enhance the dish by topping with diced strawberries, blueberries, or toasted almonds for added flavor and texture.
