Ok so now this is the easiest thing you are ever gonna make. (I know, I know, “She says that all the time!”)
It makes a huge difference flavor-wise, how ripe your bananas are. If you catch ’em right when they begin to spot and before you need to throw ’em out, they’ll be nice ‘n sweet.
Yellow skin with brownish spots is just right … as long as there’s no brown on the inside. (You can cut that part out if it happens.)
I always have bananas ripening in a basket, just waiting for the right moment to freeze those lil guys! Timing is everything.

Dairy-free Pumpkin Spice Gelato Recipe
- 2 bananas, sliced and frozen overnight
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (available all in one or you can make it yourself, below)
Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1/8 tsp allspice
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
Blend ingredients in food processor til smooth, stopping to scrape down sides with spatula and move it to the middle if needed. I usually only need to do this once.*
Next we’ve got two choices … Either serve right away (it will be creamy and melty like soft serve ice cream) or freeze and scoop out as needed (it will be a bit more crystalized like frozen yogurt.)
Enjoy!
PS: See Sweet Potato (shhhh!) Brownies recipe if those are callin’ your name!
*Tip: Blend quickly (scraping down sides often) for a frosty consistency or blend longer for a lighter, fluffier treat.
