Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 medium bananas
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
Sweeteners:
- 3 teaspoons liquid sweetener of choice (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare ripe bananas by carefully removing the peel and slicing them into uniform, bite-sized segments.
- Arrange the banana pieces on a parchment-lined tray or inside a freezer-safe storage bag, ensuring they are spread out to prevent clumping.
- Place the bananas in the freezer and allow them to solidify completely, typically requiring several hours or overnight for optimal freezing.
- Transfer the frozen banana chunks into a robust food processor or high-performance blender.
- Incorporate vibrant matcha powder and a touch of liquid sweetener into the processor.
- Pulse and blend the mixture, periodically scraping down the sides, until a creamy, smooth texture emerges.
- For immediate enjoyment, scoop the mixture into serving bowls as a luscious soft serve dessert.
- Alternatively, transfer the nicecream into a freezer-safe glass or metal container, smoothing the surface for an even freeze.
- Seal the container with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- When ready to serve, remove the nicecream from the freezer and allow it to soften at room temperature for approximately 10 minutes.
- For quicker softening, briefly microwave the container for 15 seconds, creating a perfectly scoopable consistency.
Notes
- Freezing bananas overnight ensures a creamy, smooth texture for your nicecream.
- Using a food processor helps create a perfectly blended, silky dessert with no lumps.
- Matcha powder adds a vibrant green color and provides a subtle, earthy green tea flavor.
- Liquid sweetener helps balance the natural bitterness of matcha and enhances overall taste.
- Let the nicecream sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to achieve the ideal scoopable consistency.
- Store in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and maintain the best flavor and texture.
