If you are a Scando of Mrs J’s generation you probably remember the Electric Banana Band. They showed up on kids-TV in late 19frozetodeath and produced a number of earworms, including one title called (roughly translated from original Scando) Bananacontact (of the third degree).

Today Mrs J is making a dessert that is equally simple, silly, child-friendly and likely to put a smile on your face. Fake banana ice-cream.

Mrs J likes bananas and buys them often. But sometimes all the bananas don’t get eaten in time. And they end up looking like this.

Black bananas can be put to use in various ways, but Mrs J doesn’t always feel like baking or cooking with bananas right then and there. So when she got the tip that you can throw them in the deep freezer, she perked up considerably.

In hindsight, she probably should have peeled and cut the bananas before freezing them. Hey, live and learn. Whether pre-peeled or peeled with a knife when frozen, eventually you should end up with bits of frozen banana, like this.

Get some coconut cream. The regular canned stuff. Dump the banana bits in your trusty mixer. Add a little bit of the coconut cream.

Now turn around 360°, exclaim the word Bananacontact! with a loud voice, and let the mixer rip.

Add coconut cream only as needed until all the banana is mixed up. The aim is just to help the mixer cream and fluff the banana, without melting it too much, so you still get a soft ice-cream-like consistency. Quickly taste the mixture. If you think it needs more sweetness, add sugar – though normally you won’t need any.

Be sure to work quickly and serve immediately – the stuff melts fast!

P.S. This recipe might work without the 360° turn and bananaexclamation – but why risk it?
