Why does my banana ice cream taste bitter?

[RavEnzo]

Help! My homemade banana ice cream turned out bitter, and I'm not sure why. Has anyone else had this problem? What could be causing that weird taste? I used ripe bananas and followed the recipe, so I'm puzzled. Any advice or fixes would be awesome!

The bitterness might be due to overripe bananas or the way they were blended. Sometimes, overripe bananas can have a bitter aftertaste, especially if they start to ferment. Also, blending the bananas too long can release bitter compounds. Try using bananas that are just ripe and blend them briefly. Adding a sweetener like honey or a splash of vanilla extract could also help balance the flavor.

Hey! If your banana ice cream tastes bitter, it might be due to overripe bananas or a hint of freezer burn. Try using fresher bananas and make sure your freezer isn’t too cold. Adding a bit of honey or vanilla can also help balance out the flavors!
