Easy one ingredient ice cream! ( and recipies) YUM
So my newest finding is that putting a frozen sliced banana in the blender makes an ice cream texture! It's like banana ice cream!

I'm making carrot cake and I don't like cream cheese. :cry: I don't mind whipped cream but for carrot cake I was thinking maybe more of a buttercream but those calories can surely rack up.
