Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 medium bananas
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 3 teaspoons instant coffee granules or espresso powder
Sweetening Ingredients:
- 3 teaspoons liquid sweetener of choice
Instructions
- Prepare ripe bananas by carefully removing the peels and cutting them into uniform, bite-sized segments.
- Arrange the banana pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching, and transfer to the freezer. Allow the fruit to solidify completely, which typically requires approximately 4-6 hours or overnight.
- Craft a rich coffee infusion by thoroughly dissolving instant coffee granules into your preferred liquid sweetener, creating a smooth and glossy syrup.
- Extract the frozen banana chunks from the freezer and transfer them directly into a high-powered food processor or blender.
- Drizzle the prepared coffee syrup over the frozen banana pieces, ensuring even distribution.
- Pulse and blend the mixture, periodically scraping down the sides, until a creamy, soft-serve consistency emerges. This process may require several minutes of patient processing.
- For an immediate indulgence, serve the nicecream directly from the blender, showcasing its velvety texture.
- Alternatively, for a more structured dessert, transfer the nicecream into a chilled glass container or metal loaf pan, smooth the surface, and return to the freezer for additional firming, which typically takes 1-2 hours.
Notes
- Freeze bananas completely solid for the creamiest, smoothest texture possible.
- Use very ripe, spotted bananas for maximum natural sweetness and easier blending.
- Opt for high-quality instant coffee for a more robust and rich flavor profile.
- Allow the coffee syrup to fully dissolve to prevent grainy texture in the final dessert.
- For a softer serve, enjoy immediately after blending; for a harder consistency, freeze for additional time.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and maintain creamy texture.
