Banana Ice Cream

It is hot this week… not complaining at all, sooo much better than winter!  Definitely ice cream weather.  But, we try not to eat too much of that.  So, the next best thing…. BANANAS!  No, seriously, Banana “Ice Cream” is a real cool treat and it does closely mimic the real thing.  I’m serious about that too.  When it gets hot, whip out the food processor and cool down with this Banana Ice Cream.  No ice cream maker required.

After trying this a couple times, I intend to have sliced frozen bananas in the freezer at all times.  It can last a couple days in the freezer once made.  But, its truest creamy flavor is about an hour or two in the freezer after you make it.  If you are using it a couple days later you will want to defrost it for a while.  It loses some of its creaminess though and is more like an ice or so, not so much of a banana ice cream.  It’s still good, just not all that creamy.
