    Thank you for posting the recipe! I just tried it tonight, and it turned out amazingly well.

    I used a tiny 3-cup food processor. I only used two bananas cut into little slices and frozen for 2 hours, then I processed them on the "chop" setting (the machine I was using only had a "chop" or a "grind" setting). It came out just perfect! So delicious, and so healthy at the same time!

    I need a bigger food processor so that I can make some for all of my friends. :)

    I cut up my banana thin then froze the pieces on a plate then put them in a zip lock bag for when I wanted to make this! I then took them out, put them in a bowl and just used my hand blender! It really did look like ice cream and tasted pretty good too, will make it again for sure!

    Oh interesting!! I didn't know you could do this w/ a hand blender. I thought my hand blender required liquid.

    Ya I wasn't sure if it would work or not but it worked great with no liquid!

    Has anyone tried refreezing this stuff? Does it stay creamy?

    I've got the same question. I figure if it stayed somewhat similar to ice cream, then I can just mix up a bunch at once as soon as I bring the bananas home (and freeze them, obviously) and then just pop them back in the freezer in little half cup sized containers.

    My little experiment is underway. I made up a bunch of the stuff from the bananas I had in my freezer and put the ice cream into little single-serving tupperware containers and back into freezer. I'm hoping it stays creamy. If not, I can still plop it into my shakes like I would have done anyway, so nothing was wasted.

    (By the way, I was so pleasantly surprised to read that this recipe is, actually, only ONE ingredient. So often I see these recipes for "Amazing Four-Ingredient Such-and-Such" and one of the "ingredients" is "a box of cake mix" or something similar and I just think "Uh.... that's like 40 ingredients! :tongue:")

    Eh, it doesn't quite hold its creaminess upon refreezing. It is edible, obviously, but not quite the same as freshly blended.

    Me again. Yesterday after a pretty long bike ride I was craving Dairy Queen BIG TIME. But instead I popped about 80 grams of frozen banana into the magic bullet along with about 5 small strawberries, 1/4 cup of skim milk and a heaping scoop of vanilla whey protein powder -- Presto! A strawberry-banana milkshake that completely satisfied my ice cream craving while also being a good post-workout recovery meal (27 grams of protein! Quick-digesting carbs!)

    Soooo good.
