Healthy açaí ice cream that you can easily make at home! All you need are 3 ingredients to make this naturally sweet banana nice cream, made extra special with organic freeze-dried açaí powder. It's pretty and purple, tastes amazing, and is fun to make and enjoy with kiddos! Watch the how-to video to see how we enjoy this healthy ice cream treat.
Start by freezing your bananas (if not already frozen). Take 3 ripe bananas, peel, and slice them into 1-2 inch pieces. Lay the banana pieces on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Place in the freezer and allow the banana to fully freeze. The bananas will take about 2 hours to freeze.
When the banana pieces are frozen, it’s time to make açaí ice cream! Place the frozen banana pieces in a food processor and pulse a few times to begin to break them down. After that, turn the food processor on and allow it to run for 30-60 seconds, breaking the banana down. It will look kind of stuck right about then.
Add in the açaí powder and 2 tbsp of milk (up to 3). Turn the food processor back on, and let it run for 30-60 seconds. Scrape down the side and break up any chunks that get stuck – we want smooth nice cream! Continue to process until you are left with smooth, creamy açaí ice cream. You can use it right away, or place it in a loaf pan lined with parchment paper and freeze to make it a little more solid and scoopable.
