I know, it is November, and I want to make ice cream?!? Well I had overripe bananas and I did not want to make banana bread (What?!? The horror!) because it wasn’t just one overripe banana, it was four. And before you say, well banana bread freezes, I want to let you know that frozen banana bread is delicious and I can hear it calling even through the closed freezer door. Muffin shapes are even better straight out of the freezer.

Anyway, searching for things to do with overripe bananas yielded a plethora of single ingredient ice cream recipes. You can google it, or just slice your ripe banana, freeze it, purée it in a blender, and eat it. I followed an instruction to freeze it again after processing, but it became very hard. I had to leave it on the counter for awhile before it softened. Maybe pin this for summer, though.
