That sounds delicious. For years I’ve been making a simpler version (just bananas!) I call Banana Creamy: Slice up a ripe banana. Put the slices in a glass mason jar. Freeze. When you want a Banana Creamy dessert, put the slices in a food processor and run the food processor until the banana is creamy enough for you. (There may still be some lumps.) Spoon into a bowl. Eat. 🙂

Sounds great! This time of year I often don’t feel like a whole meal, so a frutopia is lovely.

Thanks, Stephanie. I think we all need a break from the oppressive political news. Sometimes you just need a bowl of ice cream.
