Your plan tip here is that you need to freeze your bananas before you get going, so start there.

Have you made ice cream from ripe, frozen bananas? It’s not like real ice cream at all really, but my kids think it’s a treat and for that, I will continue to make it. You can use a food processor or high-powered blender, and because it does not involve a lot of liquid, it will take a few minutes to really break down and get smooth. Keep going.

I know we have some folks with allergies and things can be swapped here. Use whatever nut or seed butter you’d like or just eliminate it completely. Revisit the magic shell recipe for a topping! Only for adults? Add a small splash of rum or bourbon, helps keep the ice cream from freezing rock solid.
