Method

Soft Serve Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bananas

    Peel and slice 4 ripe bananas into small pieces. Place them in a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours until completely frozen.

  2. 2

    Blend the Soft Serve

    In a blender, combine the frozen banana pieces, vanilla extract, and Straus vanilla ice cream. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

  3. 3

    Serve the Soft Serve

    Once the mixture is creamy and well-blended, transfer it to a serving bowl or individual cups. You can place it back in the freezer for about 15 minutes for a firmer texture if desired.

Caramelized Bananas

  1. 4

    Slice and Cook Bananas

    Peel and slice 2 ripe bananas into thick rounds. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved.

  2. 5

    Caramelize the Bananas

    Add the sliced bananas to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Combine and Garnish

    Spoon the caramelized bananas over the banana soft serve. Top with banana chips for added crunch and serve immediately.
