Creamy, nutty, naturally sweet, and incredibly easy to make! This Green Pistachio Banana Ice Cream is the perfect homemade frozen treat when you want something refreshing without a complicated recipe.
The combination of frozen bananas, pistachios, and Greek yogurt creates an amazingly smooth texture, while honey and vanilla add just the right amount of sweetness.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced and frozen
- 1/3 cup shelled pistachios
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A small pinch of salt, optional
- Crushed pistachios for topping
Instructions
Add the frozen bananas, pistachios, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla to a blender.
Blend until completely smooth and creamy. You may need to stop once or twice and scrape down the sides. The mixture should become thick, silky, and naturally pale green.
Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover and freeze for about 3–4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
Remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes if it is too firm.
Scoop into your favorite dessert bowl and finish with plenty of crushed pistachios on top. 💚
Quick Tip
For the creamiest result, use very ripe bananas before freezing them. Their natural sweetness also means you may be able to reduce the honey.
The result is a creamy banana-pistachio frozen dessert with a rich nutty flavor that’s perfect for warm days. 🍌🍨
