How To Make the Banana Bliss:
Peel and slice bananas into thin pieces. Freeze the banana slices in a plastic freezer-safe bag until solid.
Combine frozen banana slices with yogurt, cream cheese, and vanilla extract in a potent blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture achieves a velvety smooth consistency. Add 2-3 tablespoons of water if needed to facilitate blending.
While blending, introduce honey or your chosen sugar substitute until fully integrated. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with additional honey if desired.
Transfer the blend into a freezer-safe dish, cover securely, and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
When ready to serve, let the nice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften. Scoop into chilled serving dishes and adorn with fresh banana slices or preferred toppings.
