Banana ice cream

This easy-to-make but utterly delicious frozen treat makes a great healthy and vegan alternative to ice cream. Keep it simple with just one ingredient – a banana – or add any flavourings, such as berries or cocoa, that take your fancy.

1 Peel your banana – just use more bananas if you want to make a batch of ice cream – and chop into chunks.

2 Freeze the pieces for at least 2 hours then blitz in a food processor until smooth – try adding cocoa powder at this stage for chocolate flavoured “ice cream”.

3 You can eat the ice cream right away or transfer to an airtight container and freeze it again to firm it up.
