One ingredient banana ice cream, I'm a believer!

Our journey continues despite my lack of posting.  I've had a browser window open on my phone to this page for at least a month now.  I wanted to believe what they were telling me, but I knew I'd have to see it first.

One ingredient ice cream, seemed way too easy.  But after finally giving it a go this afternoon I can vouch and say, it is easy and so surprisingly good.  Did you click that link? If not, let me tell you my quick version:

Peel a banana.  Slice it into chunks.  Put them in the freezer on a baking sheet or plate for 1 to 2 hours.  Put them in the food processor. Whiz them around for a while.  You will think it's not working.  Keep going anyway.  Stop periodically to stir and scrape down the sides.  Keep going.  Hold onto your aprons while you witness the magic, watch the bananas turn into creamy ice cream right before your eyes. Eat it.

The comments on the link above also provide plenty of ideas for toppings and additions like peanut butter and honey. 

It didn't even dawn on me to take a picture until the only trace of the ice cream was the puddles left in the kid's bowls.  So I didn't.  That just means you will have to try it and see for yourself.   I think you won't be disappointed!
