Came across this great idea for a dessert.

Just one ingredient, yep! you read that right one ingredient Bananas, nothing else added.

Rather than I explain, just follow the link for 'easy peasy' banana ice cream!

Sounds interesting! Lots of carbs in bananas of course, so in moderation only - might give it a go though! 🙂

Raises eyebrow and mutters "fascinating". I'm so tempted to try it.

I made it for a friend who was visiting and they couldn't believe how good it tasted and how quickly it was made (about 2 mins, once the banana is frozen) start to serving.

I can now vouch for this one it's AMAZING, really do try it!

I've seen another version where you stick chunks of plain chocolate in it before freezing but I've never tried either because I have a (whispers) phobia about bananas 😱

Oooh, this is interesting to me, because I remember some horror stories my Grandparents told me as a child. My Grandma would never eat a banana on its own, only with something else, eg in a sandwich. She told me that if you eat a banana unadulterated, it will reform itself in your stomach. She was otherwise a very sensible woman, so I wonder where she got this from. Perhaps it is one of those inherited memories....

My grandparents did make the best ever banana sandwiches though.

The ice cream sounds yummy! As it's frozen presumably it would make the banana go further so you wouldn't need as much of it as you would neat bananas? Or is that just wishful thinking?
