What's the one magic ingredient that can be whipped into perfectly rich and silky ice cream, with no dairy whatsoever? The good ol' banana. 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. Feel free to mix in a little nut butter or sprinkle with berries and nuts.
Peel the banana, chop into 1 inch coins, and freeze them in a plastic bag for at least two hours (or overnight).

When the bananas are frozen, blend them in a food processor or a high-speed blender, scraping down the sides as necessary (add a little soy milk if the bananas are not blending well). Continue to blend until the bananas reach a soft-serve ice cream-like consistency.
