Just frozen bananas and milk. That's it. Sweet, creamy, and way easier than you'd think.

I saw Luke from Outdoor Boys blend up frozen bananas with milk in one of his cooking videos, and I thought, wait, that’s it? No cream, no sugar, no churning? I had some bananas in the freezer, so I gave it a shot.

I used about 240g of frozen bananas and 100g of milk, and the result was way better than I expected. Creamy, naturally sweet, and super satisfying. Like soft serve, but made with stuff you already have at home.

This "ice cream" is actually part of a bigger trend called nice cream, which became popular in the early 2010s when people started making healthier frozen treats using just bananas. But the idea itself has been around for decades.

Frozen fruit has long been used to mimic the texture of traditional ice cream. The magic is in the banana. Once frozen and blended, it turns smooth, fluffy, and cold without any need for extra sugar or dairy. I like to finish mine with some shaved dark chocolate on top for a little contrast.

If you’ve never tried this, now’s the time. It’s ridiculously easy, takes just minutes, and satisfies that dessert craving without feeling heavy. One banana, a bit of milk, and a blender. That’s really all you need.

And once you get the hang of it, you can start adding your own twists with peanut butter, granola, cocoa powder, or even a pinch of sea salt.
