Variations
- The milk can be omitted but it does make for easier blending. You can also use a food processor although this takes slightly longer to achieve the desired result. The bananas will become grainy at first and then will eventually become smooth and creamy.
- Add frozen berries for a sorbet with raspberries, strawberries and blueberries.
- Swap the bananas with ripe frozen mangoes.
- Using ripe bananas should ensure the ice cream is sweet enough. If you find it needs to be sweeter, add a little natural sweetener (e.g. maple syrup, stevia, coconut nectar).
