Notes
It is important to use really ripe, sweet tasting bananas, or the ice cream may taste a little bland. Try to defrost the bananas slightly before pulsing: this keeps the noise down and prevents the machine from over working. The hot water can also assists here. Sadly this ice cream does not re-freeze well. If you do re-freeze repeat from stage 2. Fresh mangoes can also substitute this recipe – treat exactly as above.
