Maple Walnut Ice Cream (Dairy Free)

Submitted by Debbwl

"A delightful cool treat that is healthier than regular ice cream but still has a creamy rich flavor. I like to break my over ripe bananas into chucks before freezing them so that they are ready to go when making banana bread or ice cream. The prep time will depend on your food processer, mine only takes about 2 - 4 minutes, bananas should be frozen sold (like over night)."
