Banana ice cream

We have a glut of bananas and after serving them as pudding, as an accompaniment to curry and making banana loaf and freezing loaves - what do you do next?

I discovered the solution - make ice cream!  (as long as you have power to freeze it!)

This recipe is easy and  fool proof!

Take your bananas and freeze them overnight (if you have power).
The following morning peel them and put them into your food processor and process until smooth - add about one tablespoon of honey per banana - you can add more if you have a really sweet tooth - and freeze again!

You now have ice cream available for puddings - parfaits or just to spoon out of the freezer when you need something sweet!
