The Kitchn's One-Ingredient Ice Cream

Making one-ingredient ice cream couldn't be simpler. It comes out like the frozen bananas you ate at the boardwalk as a kid, except (thanks to the high pectin content) it whips up like Marshmallow Fluff. Vegan and raw foodists have long known this trick, but a few years ago, The Kitchn published a photo tutorial and one-ingredient ice cream went mainstream. Bloggers spread the gospel and suddenly it wasn't just a workaround for ice cream, but an exciting dessert in its own right, regardless of its pure reputation.

Ingredients

1 bunch bananas

Directions

Peel your bananas.
Cut them into small pieces.
Freeze for just 1-2 hours on a plate or tray. (Or leave them in the freezer indefinitely -- just let them thaw a little before making the ice cream.)
Blend, blend, blend in the food processor -- scraping down the bowl when they stick.
Enjoy the magic moment when they turn into ice cream! Try mixing in other fruits, nut butters, or chocolate.
Freeze any leftovers and process again when ready to serve.
