One-Ingredient Banana Ice Cream

Yields1 ServingPrep Time2 mins

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.
