vegan banana ice cream

It’s like magic – frozen bananas are processed in your food processor and, 2 minutes later, become thick and creamy and basically resemble soft-serve banana ice cream. Sometimes I like to add unsweetened cocoa. Even with the addition of cocoa, if the bananas are truly ripe, they are sweet enough that you don’t need any added sugar. Don’t expect this to taste like real ice cream – but it is a very good, just-sweet-enough frozen dessert, and a great way to use too-ripe bananas.
