One Ingredient Ice Cream--www.thekitchn.com/.../

Below, are the instructions. The web site is more informative. I got there by googling "frozen bananas" and the article is "How to Make Ice Cream With Just One Ingredient"


"That mystery ingredient, of course, is banana! The smidgen of fat in bananas makes a magic trick when they are frozen and blended up. They turn creamy instead of crumbly, with a smooth texture any home ice cream chef would love to have in their frozen treats."

Here's a step-by-step (slideshow online) of how to do it. The major tips can be summed up as:

• Peel your bananas first.
• Cut them into small pieces.
• Freeze for just 1-2 hours on a plate.
• Blend, blend, blend - scraping down the bowl when they stick. Use a food processor or blender. At first it just seems crumbly. Keep blending and scraping down the container. Then, it turns smooth and creamy.
• Enjoy the magic moment when they turn into ice cream! You can add peanut butter, etc. if you want.
When it is first done, it is like soft serve. If you put it in an airtight container in the freezer, it gets more like regular ice cream.
