Make Creamy Ice Cream with Just Bananas
Creamy, soft-serve style ice cream with just one ingredient.
No ice cream maker needed, no additional plant-based milk, sweeteners, or whatsoever needed.If you freeze a banana until solid, then whiz it up in a blender or food processor, it gets creamy and a little gooey, just like good custard ice cream. Some bananas, depending on their ripeness, have a bit of that green aftertaste. Feel free to add in another ingredient or two, like a tablespoon of peanut butter.. Mona's Easy Apple Crumble
