One-ingredient ice cream

What is this witchcraft?! How is this possible? Why haven't I heard about this before? And does this technically count as a recipe?
...Were some of the questions that passed through my mind when I discovered the one-ingredient ice cream. And guess what that one ingredients is? BANANA!!! :D Ain't it great? You can also use the frozen banana for banana milkshake, if you feel like having a banana fest.With the only ingredient being banana, you really can have some guilt-free ice cream.

One ingredient ice cream
Prep time: 20 minutes plus some time in the freezer
Serves: 3

Ingredient(s)
Uhm.... banana!
3 bananas
Honey and mint to garnish (optional)
And technically any other flavours you want to throw in, e.g. chocolate

Method
  1. Choose bananas that are ripe but not mushy.
  2. Peel the bananas and chop into thick rounds
  3. Spread out evenly in tubs and freeze for two hours
  4.  Put the solid pieces into a food processor and whisk to crumbs. It will probably get stuck, so you'll need to scrape the banana off the sides using a fork.
  5. Suddenly, the banana will turn creamy!
  6. You can eat it like this, like soft scoop ice cream or freeze for a further few hours to make more 'traditional' ice cream.
  7. Serve with honey drizzled over and possibly some shavings of dark chocolate.
