Ingredients

• 4 very ripe bananas, peeled
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt
• 3 tbsp plant milk, only if needed
• 2 tbsp peanut butter, for a PB version (optional)
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder, for a chocolate version (optional)

Method

1. Slice the bananas into 2 cm coins and spread them on a lined tray in a single layer. Freeze for 4 hours, until solid (or keep them in a freezer bag for whenever the craving hits).
2. Tip the frozen banana into a food processor and blend. It will go crumbly, then lumpy, then suddenly turn smooth and creamy like soft-serve; this takes 3–5 min, with a few stops to scrape down the sides.
3. Only add a splash of milk if the machine is really struggling. Add the vanilla, salt and any flavourings and pulse to mix.
4. Eat straight away as soft-serve, or pack into a tub and freeze for 1 hour for scoops.

Tips

• The spottier the bananas, the sweeter and less "banana-y" the result.
• Try swirling in jam, frozen berries or chopped dark chocolate.
