I have yet to meet someone who does not love some type of frozen treat on a hot summer day like ice cream or sherbert. With temperatures in the 90s this week, I think it’s about time we whip up some Creamy Berry Ice Cream in our food processor! I would like to thank Nancy from I MADE THIS DISH for another absolutely delicious recipe to share with our readers!
Got some over-riped bananas? Feel bad about throwing them away? Stick them in the freezer and we will make some delicious ice-cream! (** Note: The banana skin will turn black in the freezer. Don’t panic! It is expected this way.)
Imagine you are serving this easy and irresistible dessert during a romantic date night to impress your partner over candle lights … or simply when you feel super lazy to walk to the store and would rather stay home in your pajamas and eat this homemade ice-cream in front of the TV! 🙂
It is so quick and easy to make, like 1-2-3! No preservative, no unknown additives, no fancy unpronounceable ingredients!! (I promise) Just healthy, quick & easy- that what this dessert is all about!
The best part: It only requires 3 ingredients! (What? For real?) Yeap, that’s it! Also, you probably already have all ingredients on hand! Ok, so let’s get ice-creamed! (I don’t think this word exists in English. Anyways, I just totally made it up.)
You’ll Need:
- 2 frozen riped bananas, peeled
- 1 cup / 110 gr frozen mixed berries (or frozen strawberries, or frozen raspberries… your choice)
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup, or regular syrup, or white sugar)
Tools You’ll Need:
- Food processor or blender
- Mixing spoon
- Plastic container with a lid (used ice-cream container, used butter container, or Ziploc container)
Step 1:
Add bananas, berries and honey in a food processor (or a blender) and close the lid tightly. (You don’t want any unexpected facial splashes). Pulse every 5 seconds, until the mixture is well combined, approximately 4-5 minutes in total.
Variation: Try fruits instead of berries. My all-time favourite is mango! OMG… it’s soooo good!
Step 2:
With a mixing spoon scoop the ice-cream mixture into a plastic container and close it with a lid. Store in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until you run out of patient and need to have this ice-cream now.
Step 3:
Before enjoying your ice-cream. Leave the container out to sit on the counter for 10 minutes.
Waited long enough? Okay then – let’s dig in and enjoy some ice cream!
What’s your favorite ice-cream flavor?

I love berries and cream, so this is going to be a great recipe to try out. Thanks for the instructions.
You'll love it Jerry! My kids can't get enough of it!
This looks so good, and healthy to boot!
It's super healthy, Jodi! I am guilty in not eating enough fruits, but eating this ice-cream… you won't even realize it's 100% made from fruits. Give it a try, Jodi, and let us know!
Wow I am saving this to my favorites! I had no clue you could make ice cream like this thanks so much for sharing this one.
I just came across this recipe this summer and since then got addicted… and got Kim and her son addicted to it too. 😀
There is no dairy for those of us watching for our figures. 🙂 (that's a bonus)
I need to try this! I like how simple and easy it is to make.
You will absolutely LOVE IT too Christina! It’s delicious!
These recipes for making ice creams and other goodies with fruit are great. Now, I have to get either a blender or a food processor so that I can make some of them!
OMG @disqus_Vw0yBJzTbu:disqus – it was absolutely delicious! Tre doesn’t even ask for ice cream from the store anymore. He wants the homemade ice cream! Walmart has a 14-speed Oster blender available right now for under $25 – http://bit.ly/1RoDSfR
This sounds so good and it has so many healthy food products. Thank you so much for sharing this re
I was just chatting with Nancy today, Linda – she’s the Editor-In-Chief at I.MADE.THIS.DISH – and she said the banana and mango combination is out of this world. Since we plowed through the first batch – this is next on the list to make either Tuesday or Wednesday. I can’t wait!
Subject: Re: Comment on Creamy Berry Ice Cream Made in a Food Processor or Blender
Okay my dear readers! I actually tried this super simple recipe to make some homemade ice cream with just three ingredients. Was I skeptical? Oh heck yeah! I mean – how do you make ice cream with no milk or cream thought this farm girl. But I was game to give it a go.
Remember that you need to freeze the fruit before making because you can’t get the correct consistency with fresh fruit. I forgot – had everything all cut up and in a bowl and ready to dump in the food processor. Something told me though to double-check the recipe because I was missing something or forgetting something – the frozen fruit part. So I just tossed it all in a freezer bag and put it in the freezer for about 3-4 hours.
Okay – ready for the food processor. Dumped everything in and started pulsing. Went beautifully and I ended up with a creamy strawberry goodness that I had to smack my teenager away from who was trying to hijack the bowl. I was able to fend him off with the empty food processor and the spatula to lick while I quickly put it in a container and popped it in the freezer.
We were “going” to have this after dinner last night but I got sidetracked, the teenager bailed with some friends, and my little guy had a wicked bad headache so we sort of forgot about it – till today.
My little guy has had 3 bowls so far, and I’ve had one. It is absolutely DELICIOUS and turned out EXACTLY like the recipe said it would! A very inexpensive cool treat for those hot summer days – and definitely something you will want to make sure you keep stocked in the freezer for the kids!
Here’s how mine turned out – deliciously yummy!
YUM – that looks delicious!! Pinning this to try!
