Two Minute Banana-Cinnamon Caramel Crunch Ice Cream

VeganMom's Note:

From our local newspaper, an article about considering making a vegetarian meal for Father's Day http://stcatharinesstandard.ca/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=1606403 You'd never think that popping a few bananas in the freezer would result in an ice-cream-like indulgence. And to correspond with the patience that dad will have while he awaits his Dad's Day Dessert, it'll be done in a snap. The dates give a sweet taste akin to smooth caramel, while the pecans add an extra crunch.
