1-Gathering and Prepping Your Ingredients: First off, make sure your frozen bananas and strawberries are ready to go they’re the stars of this show. Slice the bananas if you haven’t already, and have your cream and vanilla extract measured out. This prep keeps things moving smoothly so you can blend and serve in no time.

2-The Blending Process: Now, let’s get to the fun part. Combine all your ingredients in a blender or food processor: that’s the 2 cups of sliced frozen bananas, 1 cup of frozen strawberries, 1/2 to 3/4 cup of heavy cream or its alternative, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend everything until it’s completely smooth, but don’t forget to stop and stir the fruit around a few times to make sure it mixes evenly. This helps avoid any chunks and ensures a velvety result.

Once blended, you’ll have a fresh batch ready to enjoy. Pour it into chilled bowls right away for the best texture, as this ice cream melts faster than store-bought kinds. If you’re tweaking for dietary needs, like using non-dairy cream, it still works like a charm.

3-Finishing Touches: Serve it up immediately for that soft-serve feel, or pop it in the freezer if you want it firmer. For variations, you might try adding other frozen fruits, but remember that bananas are what make it so creamy. This method is perfect for busy parents or students who need a quick treat.
