Ingredients

Optional:

Instructions

  • Left over blackend banana's work best. Cut them up into pieces and put them in a ziplock bag in the freezer for at least 4 hours or better over night.
  • Put cutup banana with vanilla in a food processor or Vitamix for 10-15 minutes. The texture will be similar to whipped soft serve ice cream. Towards the end, you can add fruit or other iingredients of your choice like cocoa powder. We like to use frozen fruit from Costco.
  • Fold in or process additional ingredients, as like fruit. If a more firm texture is desired, re-freeze. You can also use an ice cream machine. It best not to refreeze though.
