Dairy Free Banana Ice Cream

Cultural Context

In Jamaica, bananas are abundant and often used in various desserts. This dairy-free banana ice cream, known locally as 'nice cream', is a refreshing treat that highlights the natural sweetness of ripe bananas. It's a popular choice for those seeking healthier alternatives to traditional ice cream, especially in warm weather. Today, variations exist globally, with many adding flavors like chocolate or nut butter to enhance the experience.

1

Peel the ripe bananas and break them into manageable chunks.

2

Place the banana chunks into a Ninja Creami pint container, ensuring not to exceed the fill line.

3

Mash the bananas using an avocado masher or fork until they are somewhat smooth but not perfectly pureed.

4

Add half a teaspoon to a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mashed bananas.

5

Taste the banana mixture; if not sweet enough, add about half a tablespoon of maple syrup.

6

Pour in unsweetened almond milk, mixing it around with a spoon to combine.

7

Level off the mixture in the pint container using a spoon to ensure it is even before freezing.

8

Freeze the container for 24 hours.

9

After 24 hours, remove the container from the freezer and check if the mixture is level; if not, level it off again with a spoon.

10

If the mixture is too thick, let it thaw for 5 to 10 minutes or run the container under hot water to remove any ice layer.

11

Install the pint into the Ninja Creami machine, ensuring it's properly aligned and locked in place.

12

Select the 'smoothie' or 'sorbet' setting on the Ninja Creami and start the machine to process the mixture.

13

Once the machine has finished, check the consistency of the ice cream.
