This weekend I saw several perfectly ripe bananas sitting on my counter, just begging me to do something with them. I decided it would be a great time to make frozen banana ice cream. And by ice cream, I mean not actually ice cream at all but rather nice cream.  Just two simple ingredients make up this Homemade Cherry Banana Ice Cream, making it a great activity for kids as part of Mini Chef Monday! This recipe requires a bit of patience as it is a two step process but is definitely worth it!

How to Make Nice Cream

The key to making nice cream is frozen bananas.  To start you’ll need to slice and freeze your bananas. My seven and three year old love the opportunity to cut food and bananas are a great way to get practice.
