  1. Pop the banana chunks on a flat tray and cover well. Freeze for at least 1 hr, or until frozen through. When ready to eat throw the banana into a food processor and whizz until smooth with enough of the milk to achieve a creamy texture. Scoop into 4 bowls or glasses, then top with the sauce and nuts.

    How easy is this and how healthy! It's so creamy you think you're indulging in a naughty treat, but unless you have drowned your portion in chocolate, nuts or syrup its a much more palatable way to enjoy a ripe banana!

    Brilliant, especially for weight watchers! Very very yummy but it was sooooo filling, suppose thats no bad thing when you're on a diet though. Would probably make less next time though.

    Delicious! Just don't freeze the banana for too long, though, or you might need a new food processor!

    Great recipe, I used low fat creme fraiche instead of milk, just to make it a little naughtier but still low fat. I also toasted some pecans left over from christmas and topped it with cinnamon and amaple syrup - yum!

    Fantastic after school treat for children, so easy to make and totally delicious! We added a touch of honey to the banana and milk but did not need the sauce, nuts etc. I agree with the other contributors that this is a brilliant way of using up left over bananas.

    Brilliant Recipe! Brilliant idea and taste, very easy to make, my mother-in-law thought I got an ice cream machine! I used whipping cream instead of milk as I needed to use it up and I added one tablespoon honey. I froze what was left of it, and the taste and texture both kept well.

    I really did not think that this would work and my partner was even more dubious, however we both loved it! It tastes like you would expect banana ice cream to taste! Fantastic!

    I served this with some Baked Apples (recipe on this site) and skipped the chocolate/toffee sauce. I wasn't sure it would really work but tasted lovely. I had some left over so popped it in the fridge and put it in the freezer for an hour or two the next day prior to serving and it worked again. Will make again, good way to use up ripe bananas and good quick option to serve as easy pudding.

    Awful recipe! Looks and tastes nothing at all like ice-cream, made it for my whole family and everyone agreed it was rubbish. Will definitely NOT be making this again!
