Spring is officially here! And what better way to celebrate the warmer temperatures than with ice cream! Here is a recipe of a homemade ice cream made with only TWO ingredients and which does not require the use of an ice-cream maker.

This ice cream is a great way to make use of your ripe bananas especially if you want a change from the classic banana bread! It can be served as a dessert or even for a snack. I topped mine with roasted walnuts to add some crunch but you can customize the toppings according to your preferences.
