Banana Nice Cream

Submitted by Sweet Potato Soul

"Sure, it’s still cold and gloomy outside, but I don’t care. I’m eating ice cream! Raw, vegan ice cream made without a ice cream maker. Boy, I wish I knew about this technique in the past. It’s really quite easy. Freeze ripe bananas, and blend them in the food processor with your sweet additions, then refreeze. Enjoy!"

ingredients

• 3 frozen ripe bananas, cut into 1 inch pieces (be sure to peel and cut bananas before freezing)
• 5 tablespoons coconut cream or 5 tablespoons coconut milk

• 1 cup frozen mango

• Chocolate

directions

1. Place all ingredients into a food processor, and blend until pureed. You will have to occasionally press the mixture down with a spatula or spoon to help it along.
