This Banana Ice Cream Recipe with Salted Caramel is sweet, delicious, and easy to make!
How to make banana ice cream:
- Banana ice cream takes only one ingredient- banana!
- Freeze your bananas, I like to freeze them in chunks.
- Once frozen, add them to a food processor and blend until creamy!
- You will need to scrape down the sides a few times and the entire process will take 3-4 minutes.
- The bananas will go from frozen, to crumbly, to creamy!
- You can eat the banana ice cream right away, but it will be more of a frozen yogurt consistency, so I like to put it in a freezer safe dish and then freeze it for 3-4 hours.
- This one ingredient banana ice cream is healthy, sweet, and delicious!
Banana Caramel Ice Cream and other options!
This recipe is so versatile! You can eat it as is or mix in any number of ingredients to change it up! I like to add my homemade caramel sauce to it and make a decadent dessert but you can try any of the following options too!- Add in chocolate chips and a few drops of peppermint extract for Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream!
- Add in 1-2 tbs cocoa powder for Chocolate Ice Cream!
- Add in 1 tbs cocoa powder and 2-4tbs peanut butter for Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream!
- Add in your favorite candies, fresh or frozen fruit, marshmallows, chocolate syrup or anything you would want in ice cream! So many possibilities!

Servings: 8 people
Ingredients
For the ice cream:
- 4 bananas peeled, chopped into chunks, and frozen
- 1 cup salted caramel
For the caramel:
- 1 c butter
- 2 cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon fine salt I love Redmond Real Salt!
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
For the banana ice cream:
- Put your frozen bananas in a food processor or high power blender like a vitamix.
- Process until the banana chunks become creamy and look like ice cream. This will take several minutes and you will need to scrape down the sides of the food processor several times. The banana will look crumbly at first and will eventually turn into creamy ice cream looking goodness!
- When done turning into ice cream, put half of it in a freezer safe dish, smooth it out and add three dollops of salted caramel (instructions to make caramel below). Using a knife, swirl the caramel into the banana mixture. Repeat with the remaining banana ice cream. You will have left over caramel sauce for topping the ice cream or any other dessert!
- Cover ice cream with plastic wrap and freeze for 3+hrs. You can eat it sooner but it might not be as solid as you’d like it- still delicious though!
- Enjoy!
For the salted caramel sauce:
- In a 2-3qt sauce pan, combine your butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt.
- Melt over medium high heat, stirring constantly, and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, let it boil for 5 minutes without stirring.
- After 5 minutes remove from heat, add vanilla and baking soda. Stir until fully combined. The mixture will get lighter in color and start to foam up. That’s normal!
- Then slowly pour in your heavy cream, whisking it in as you pour.
- Let cool enough to taste, add more salt if it needs it. Also, the caramel will thicken up as it cools!
- Enjoy!
