It's sort of a misnomer, but this "ice cream" is just as creamy and delicious as any made with dairy products. And it's shockingly simple. Do you have a large food processor? Do you have a freezer? With some day-old bananas, you can create a healthy dessert. At the risk of sounding scientifically naive, the transformation is like magic!
Now, I added some extra ingredients to mine for a take on "bananas foster," including rum, cinnamon, brown sugar, and toasted pecans. You can get creative and mix your banana "ice cream" with any number of add-ons. Some ideas include: Nutella, peanut butter, honey, dark chocolate chips . . .
I always think about the song I'm about to give you in connection to Billy Wilder's 1954 film Sabrina. In that gem of postwar cinema, Audrey Hepburn sings a quirky version of Spike Jones's already playful "Yes, We Have No Bananas!"
Ingredients:
--4 very ripe bananas, chopped and frozen (overnight)
--2 tsp. ground cinnamon
--1/4 c. dark brown sugar
--2 tbsp. dark rum
--1/2 c. toasted chopped pecans
In a large food processor, combine all ingredients except the pecans (you're going to use those as a topping). You'll need to pulse for quite awhile--don't worry if the bananas aren't blending immediately. Depending on how frozen your bananas are, you'll need to pulse on high for about 5-7 minutes. At first, you'll begin to see the bananas turning into tiny little chunks, and slowly they'll cream together until you have a very smooth dessert.
Serve and top with toasted pecans.
This recipe makes about 4 c. of of vegan banana ice cream. If you can't finish it all at once, you can refreeze it for later.
