Arrange the sliced bananas onto a tray without the pieces touching. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze overnight.
Place the pitted dated into a small bowl and cover with hot water. Soak for 10 minutes.
Drain the dates and place into a food processor along with all remaining ingredients.
Blend on high for 1-2 minutes. Scrape down the sides if needed and blend again.
Serve and enjoy immediately or scrape out into a flat container, cover and freeze for 2-5 hours depending on the preferred consistency.
- Use ripe bananas as they provide fuller flavor than green bananas.
- Slicing the bananas thinly helps to freeze faster and also helps the nice cream to be super smooth when blended.
- If you’re having trouble blending the nice cream add a little non dairy milk to the food processor when blending.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Feel free to add any toppings and mix-ins you like! Salted caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, chocolate chips, sprinkles, nuts, nut butter or fresh or frozen fruit all taste great!
