Chocolate Banana Soft Serve

This is a great way to make homemade "ice cream" without an ice cream maker. It also doesn't require the old-fashioned way of placing cream in a bag in a bag of ice and shaking for hours. Technically speaking, this isn't ice cream, as it contains no milk ingredients. I guess it would be considered a sorbet. It certainly is reminiscent of ice cream, and a lot lighter and healthier. I could eat a lot of this. The bananas need to be ripe and frozen for the best flavor and texture in this dish. Without sugar, it takes like a banana dark chocolate ice cream, but if you aren't fond of dark chocolate, sweeten or serve with caramel or hot fudge sauce on top. This is quick and easy, and you'll be enjoying some homemade soft-serve in just a few hours!
