Ingredients 

Instructions 

  • 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.
  • Serve and enjoy with homemade granola!
