This is an old restaurant trick that has been around for years. Use this delightfully simple "sorbet" wherever you would use ice cream. Try it sprinkled with chopped nuts, or on a bed of pureed raspberries or strawberries.

Ingredients:
1 very ripe banana

Instructions:
Peel the banana and cut it into chunks. Put the chunks, uncovered, on a plate in the freezer, and freeze for at least an hour. (They can stay overnight.) When you're ready to serve, take out the banana and put the frozen pieces in a blender or food processor, and process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the container as needed. As the bananas thaw slightly, the texture will become smooth and creamy.

    Boy, the topic sure caught my attention!

    Yes, frozen bananas are wonderful!

    I remember when I was a kid, my mom would dip them in chocolate and freeze them. So, so, so good!
  • That sounds fantastic, thanks I plan to try it tonight!!

    This sounds yummy.
    I'll be making this for myself next time the family want their shakes.
    Thanks Renee.
