Tips

  • The riper the banana, the sweeter and stronger the flavor. Brown-spotted ones are perfect.
  • Do not over-blend once the cream is in, or it starts to whip and turn grainy.
  • Shortbread or digestive biscuits work if you cannot find vanilla wafers.

Why it works

Ripe banana adds natural sugar and pectin, which thicken the base and keep ice crystals small, so it needs less cream and no cream cheese.
