Question:
I enjoy making “ice cream” with frozen banana and other frozen fruits. I usually add some almond/soy milk and vanilla extract. Is there a recipe that I can make in advance that is scoopable?

make nice cream. I make
banana ice cream. I often. In

ten minutes and it should be scoopable. It
should be scoopable.
