½ cup milk
½ cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange banana slices on paper and freeze until solid, 3 to 5 hours.
Peel bananas from the parchment paper and place in the blender. Add milk and cream and blend until smooth; transfer to a sealable container and freeze until set, about 2 hours.

Tips

You can substitute the banana with different fruit, but I find it tastes best with banana.
