Banana Ice Creams
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.
You can make it many different ways, experimenting with adding coconut milk, nut butters, avocado, chocolate powder, etc…
