Updated May 30, 2020 Freeze Those Brown Bananas Brown spotted bananas were sitting on our counter, staring me down. I tried to ignore them, but they kept haunting me. It seems like I can never eat bananas fast enough. They always turn brown and beg me to put them to good use. I usually bake banana bread, banana cookies, banana cake, or use them in a smoothie. This time I decided to turn them into ice cream since it is so hot outside....

Updated March 26, 2019 I’ve always been a fan of banana pudding. Creamy pudding, vanilla wafers, bananas, and whipped cream, Mmmm! Such a comforting classic dessert!

If you put on a blind fold and took a bite, I bet you would think you were eating banana pudding....

We’ll say 12 to be safe. But 14 may be more accurate. The batter was so freaking delish that I contemplated calling it “dip” and moving on with my life. Why subject something so delectable to the unpredictableness of the oven?! Well I did. And guess what. They were even BETTER. Upon first bite, my blueberry breakfast prayers were answered. These are soft and light and cakey, not chewy or crispy or cookie-ish....

When I first tasted this ice cream, I couldn’t believe that it could be this delicious. You know when something is just SO good you keep digging your spoon in almost subconsciously (Please tell me I’m not alone) ? That is what happened here. Before I knew it I had eaten half of it. And look, I’m not the biggest ice cream fan. I would much rather use up those calories on a burger but damn, this is some good stuff....
