ONE INGREDIENT ICE CREAM

Want to how to make dreamy, creamy ice-cream using only one ingredient? Ice cream that aaaaanyone with specific dietary requirements can eat? I'm not winding you up - this ice cream is dairy free, gluten free, vegan and has absolutely no added sweeteners, preservatives or other nasties. Even if you're on a diet, you don't have to say no to dessert if this is on the menu!

The secret ingredient is the humble banana. Chopped, frozen for a few hours and then blended, this fruit yields the most flavoursome, silky ice cream known to man. I made it for the first time a couple of weeks ago and when James tasted it, he thought I must have used some incredible artisan recipe, it's that good. Next time you find yourself with a few really ripe bananas, you know what to do. You can even experiment with flavours by adding cocoa, honey, peanut butter, frozen strawberries or basically whatever takes your fancy. Personally, I think it's delicious on its own.
