So after seeing the dark side of Ice Creams lets clear the fog and start celebrating the charm of this recipe.
For this recipe, you will definitely need a food processor. Blender is not going to churn it. Unless you have a very powerful blender!
Ingredients:
  • 3-4 frozen sliced bananas 
  • A spoonful of peanut butter and/or Cookies
  • 2-3 tsp. Cocoa powder 
Put the bananas and the ingredients in the food processor, and blend it.
It might look bit of grainy. But keep on going. You will probably have to stop blending occasionally and push the banana down with a spatula.


Be patient with it. Initially, it seems like nothing is happening and the banana is spinning round and round. Have patience, and continue blending. After a while, of spinning, the banana at the bottom will start to get very smooth, and rest follows.  

VoilĂ ! You have your Homemade Banana Ice cream ready!
