Banana ‘nice’ cream

Got some manky old bananas lying around? This is the perfect way to use them up! Overripe bananas make the most amazing frozen treat, and it’s super simple to make. You can flavour it with other fruits, cacao, or (my personal favourite, and the recipe I made) peanut butter!

Number of plants: 2
