Tip: Banana ice cream

This is how easy it is to make use of your overripe bananas. One ingredient banana ice cream.
  1. Peel any ripe bananas and slice into rounds about 10cm thick.
  2. Lay on a tray to freeze.
  3. Once frozen, you can put the banana in a Tupperware until you need it.
  4. Put the banana in a blender and blitz. It makes an awful noise to start with but if you wait long enough it will break down and then come together as a lump of ‘ice cream’.
  5. Transfer to a bowl and enjoy guilt free banana ice cream.
OK, you’ve got the hang of that, now go bananas! You could try:
  • Banana and peanut butter (pictured above, add peanut butter just before the ice cream comes together as a lump)
  • Banana and choc chip (stir through chips at the end)
  • Banana, cinnamon and raisins (stir through raisins at the end)
  • Banana and frozen blueberries (berries go in at the beginning with the banana)
  • Banana and frozen cherries (cherries go in at the beginning with the banana)
  • Banana and frozen forest fruits (fruits go in at the beginning with the banana)
  • Banana and frozen strawberries (berries go in at the beginning with the banana)
  • Banana, dried mango, dried pineapple and coconut shavings (chop dried fruit into manageable pieces and stir through at the end)
  • Banana and Christmas mincemeat (add a big spoon once the banana ice broken up)
I’d love you to get blitzing and share your banana ice cream creations with me.
