More on raw banana ice cream for your pleasure.

A woman my friend Chelsea knows makes raw banana ice cream with pieces of what she called "bitter chocolate" inside. Of course!

Frozen banana ice cream deal

So I'd been hearing for awhile now that people make raw ice cream from frozen bananas.

Ya whatever, I thought. Sounds sucky to me.

For the heck of it I froze a peeled banana today, and put said frozen banana in blender. (The blender scared me a little at first, but eventually got through it...have since read it's better to freeze the banana in chunks, duh.)

Well, I simply cannot believe how much like ice cream a frozen banana is. There's some banana flavor, but the cold mutes that a lot. Overwhelming is the ice-creamy way a spoon goes through it (think dense, heavy, creamy), and the ice-creamy way it melts in your mouth.

Next time (tonight!) I'm going to try this recipe for vanilla ice cream. You know my thing with that, olive oil and a little salt.
