Mocha Banana Ice Cream

As per usual, I’m late to the “trendy new toys” game and had never tried a Vitamix, but holy moly did this thing revolutionize my smoothies. So I put it to the “nice” cream test. Nice cream is essentially frozen, blended bananas with whatever flavor makers you desire/have on hand. But the key to good nice cream is in the blender. You need something strong enough to cut through the frozen bananas that will also aerate the mixture into light, fluffy decadence. So while our little handheld immersion blender up in Holland just won’t do the trick, a heavy duty food processor or blender, like the ancient Vitamix I discovered at my parents’ house, certainly will!
