cookabilityCon: requires use of a food-processor or blender, which can be hard for those of us with noise sensitivity.
Pro: minimal prep, lasts indefinitely in the freezer, takes only a few minutes to make, no cooking required, compatible with a very wide range of special dietary requirements, is mysterious food alchemy.
Taken from Instructables: 1-Ingredient Ice Cream:
Take a banana or bananas, peel, chop into chunks, then put in a bag in the freezer.
When desired, take out your frozen banana chunks, put them in a food processor, and blend them.
The result is amazingly creamy in texture, and way sweeter than regular banana, for reasons I cannot fathom.
I don't eat a lot of sugar, and I actually find the result too sweet; I'm going to be experimenting with blending in extra ingredients, including other fruits or cocoa powder.
ETA: If you need/want to take a supplement that's in powder form, blending it in seems to work very well (I tried this with a scoop of whey protein).
ETA2: If you are okay with dairy, blending in some Greek yoghurt is amazingly delicious.

Date: 2010-07-15 06:39 am (UTC)We cubed our watermelon, froze it, then blended bits and pieces together. We stopped when the fruit was still a little bit chunky so it was less like a traditional ice cream and more like Dippin' Dots done with fruit. It was so freaking good. I cannot wait to blend up more. (And if you pick a sweet watermelon, there will be no need to add sugar or anything else.)
