Never again will I look at overripe bananas and think “maybe I’ll make banana bread”.
Forget banana bread. Banana bread is stupid. Banana Whip is where it’s at.
Here, let me prove it to you.
If you’ve got even 1 banana in your house, run to the kitchen right now. (wait. finish reading first.) Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.
Peel and then slice into cut into 1/2 to 1 inch chunks.
(note that your bananas don’t have to be overripe, but the riper the banana, the sweeter your Banana Whip will be – thus a great way to put overripe bananas to good use.)
Pop into the freezer.
Consider freezing your bananas flat on a cookie sheet if you have the room in your freezer. If not, freeze them in a bowl and then just dig them out a butter knife later – doing your best to avoid sending banana chunks flying across the room while doing so.
Ready to take those babies for a spin?
You will probably have to stop the food processor a few times to scrape frozen bananas down from the sides and back into the center toward the blade. For a while it will look like those frozen ice cream balls dippin’ dots, but then suddenly, before your very eyes – something happens.
Banana magic.
Seriously?
Seriously.
What you see is what you get – frozen bananas in the food processor for about 3 minutes. That’s it.
It’s by some bananamiracle that something bananamagical happens with the gums found in bananas when frozen. It’s those frozen gums that turn ordinary frozen banana slices to be into a whipped glorious sweet and healthy treat you see there. Freeze your gums on that.
I discovered Banana Whip after reading Gena’s life changing post and oh yes, Banana Whip has change my life. Because once you try Banana Whip and marvel over its simplicity, you start to see all the other whipped banana adventures you can go on. The addition of nut butters, coconut, blueberries, strawberries, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, pour into popsicle molds, refreeze and then make a banana whip ice sculpture to for your next party.
Be warned: even with my heavy duty full size Cuisinart, frozen bananas make my food processor dance across the counter upon start up.
If you don’t have a beast of a food processor, consider slicing your bananas into even smaller pieces before freezing them or thaw slightly before whipping them into shape.
Did you know Banana Whip is even in the Urban Dictionary? (If you are modest and easily embarrassed don’t click here.) All I want to know is… what is a “Van Dell”? Or maybe I don’t want to know.
While it tastes best fresh, the leftovers (leftovers??) can go back into the freezer to be scooped out like regular ice cream later.
Go on now! Whip it! Whip it good.

I was JUST thinking tonight I want ice cream but would probably blow my daily consumption of food right out of the water.. this is perfect. Going to have to try it with fresher bananas
I knew I didn’t want to know! Although I have to say that one wasn’t too hard to make an educated guess about.
Hahaha.. I love urban dictionary! I’ve also heard of banana whip. I haven’t tried it yet, but I have two overripe bananas sitting in the kitchen. I may give this a spin tomorrow for dessert!
Check this out… There is a post about Banana Coconut Gelato from Battle Banana (you have to scroll down a little). It looks amazing and it’s dairy free! I think you might enjoy it. Banana and coconut are an amazing combination.

Oh, that needs to be made in my home, stat. But I fear my little mini prep cuisinart may not cut it! I think I saw kids lining up for this stuff at Disneyland recently!
Oooo Elizabeth that gelato does look good! I’ve got my bananas in the freezer with my eyes on the shredded coconut for tonight! Yummmm…
I broke down lats night and had a bowl of ice cream (haven’t had in a very long time). I always have to put bananas on it and last night put fresh strawbarries. This would have been much healthier then the ice cream. Yours looks like it needs fresh strawbarries. Now i defantly have to run to town today to get more bananas, for my banana whip tonight w/ fresh strawbarries.
I was just thinking earlier that I need to buy myself a new food processor so that I can make homemade nut butters.
But this, I think, even beats the nut butter reasoning. That looks absolutely amazing! Whipped bananas? YUM!
Wow! That looks awesome! Too bad bananas don’t last long enough in our house, ever.
I don’t actually like bananas but my hubby and kids LOVE them. I bet this would make for a great dessert this week after dinner! THANKS!

I just made this and am currently consuming it. It. is. amazing!!!
I have not even made it yet!!! But you get a big big hug from me….
I am cooking Nigerian dishes next weekend and was stuck for a banana desert recipe… I want to invent one with
Banana, coconut and groundnuts. So I took one banana , 50 g groundnuts( roaste but not salted and preferably the ones in shells) and 50 ml of coconut cream… I put the 3 items in the blender and liquidised for a few minutes. It came out nice and smooth and would pass for a nice desert…. but I wanted the mixture to be lighter… and this Banana whip will just do the trick….. so back to the drawing board to create this perfect recipe….
I know it is going to work….la la la…la la la !!!
So looking forward to trying this out…..maybe for breakfast! Just wondered if this changes the glycaemic index of the banana
OMG! This is like the best thing ever!!! Why have I never heard of this before…. I will be whipping those bananas in shape for the rest of my life =)

Can you use something besides food processor? Blender?
You could try the blender, but you’ll probably have better luck if you’re using a high speed blender. (Like a Vitamix.)
