STEP 2: FREEZE NICE CREAM AND SERVE
Transfer to an ice cream freezer container and cover. Freeze until set. If the ice cream is too hard to scoop, allow to set at room temperature for five minutes prior to serving.
CAN I ADD IN NUTS TO THE PEANUT BUTTER BANANA CHOCOLATE NICE CREAM?
Yes, either add the nuts into the blended nice cream right before freezing or sprinkle them on top. If you love nuts in your ice cream, then it's a great option for you. Peanuts, walnuts, almonds, pecans, and hazelnuts are some of our favorite ideas.
CAN I REPLACE THE ALMOND MILK WITH SOMETHING ELSE?
Yes, if you can't have almond milk or simply don't like it, don't worry! You can easily swap it out for something else. Any non-dairy substitute is fine if you can't have regular milk. Cashew milk, coconut milk, or soy milk would all work. If you can have dairy, feel free to use regular milk or heavy whipping cream. Heavy cream is going to make the ice cream thicker and creamier because of its high-fat content.
HOW LONG DOES HOMEMADE ICE CREAM LAST?
This homemade banana ice cream usually lasts around three months. It needs to be in a sealed container away from the doors of your freezer. If you keep it in the door, you will find more ice crystals develop as the door opens and closes.
CAN I MAKE NICE CREAM WITHOUT A BLENDER?
Yes, if you don't have a blender that's okay! Simply use your food processor instead. You may have to work in batches if your food processor is pretty small, but you should reach the same results. Freeze it and it should be just as delicious as if you used a blender.
