Blend the mixture, starting on a low speed and gradually increasing. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula occasionally.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: Be patient; it takes a few minutes for the bananas to break down and become creamy.

If the mixture is too thick to blend, add the plant milk one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
