A speedy ice cream from James Martin - frozen banana chunks whizzed to a tangy purée with delicious buttermilk and vanilla

Instant banana ice cream

Method

1. Peel the bananas and cut into chunks. Arrange in a single layer on a baking tray lined with baking parchment, leaving space between the chunks. Put in the freezer for a few hours until frozen hard.

2. Tip the frozen banana chunks into a food processor. Add the vanilla, sugar and most of the buttermilk.

3. Process to a chunky purée. Then, with the machine still running, pour in the remaining buttermilk in a thin steady stream. Let the machine run until the mixture is beautifully smooth and creamy. Serve at once.

Delicious!! I do a similar recipe but this is for people that have to watch what they eat Ahem!! (me included) Freeze your fruit, put skimmed milk in the freezer until it crysallises, then put into the blender. Must be eaten straight away though, otherwise the mixture starts to seperate. You could add a little honey, or sweetner if you wish
