How long can bananas be frozen for the magic one-ingredient banana ice cream?

cookingProf added 11 months ago

I keep frozen ripe bananas in the freezer for weeks . I slice them into one inch pieces and keep portion sizes in separate freezer bags. No need to thaw the bananas if they are cut into smaller slices. My favorite in rum raisin banana ice cream. I soak the raisins in rum over night and add to the bananas after they are whipped.

I toss bananas into the freezer whole, in the peel and everything. They're usually fine like that for up to about 2 months. When I want to thaw one, I microwave it for about 1 minute. Then the banana will slip out of the peel pretty easily for mashing for banana bread. If I'm making the banana ice cream trick, I microwave it for closer to 20-30 seconds. It's a little harder to peel, but it'll blend really well in the food processor for the same banana "ice cream" effect.

I leave mine in there a while- up to two months. I just run them under hot water for about ten seconds and peel. We don't have a microwave, so i can't say whether it works or not.
