Hi Jojo, yes, I freeze them when they're pretty ripe, but not brown and mushy - I cut those bits off.  (Or use in cakes as you say.)

Made this tonight using almonds and maple syrup (because that's what I had).  It was divine!  I blended for about 30 seconds and the almonds were small crushed pieces - perfect.  Our guests couldn't believe how easy and quick it was, and kept asking what was in it as they didn't believe me.

I'm definitely never buying ice-cream again - just lots of bananas.

That's great Cathy!  I like it with little pieces of nuts too.  Try roasting the almonds too - that's really yummy.

I made this tonight as a test for a friend who is doing a demonstration later in the week and wanted something different and healthy. I used macadamias and maple syrup. There were chunks of macadamia through the 'icecream' which made it even more special.  It is really very nice and ever so easy. The 3 of us gutsed ate the whole lot. I can't wait to impress someone with it at dinner one evening.

I bought the agave syrup and made the ice cream. WOW! Yummy! Can't believe it does not have unhealthy ingredients in it. I plan to buy proper wafer cones and serve the ice cream to guests next time.  :) :)

So glad you like it!  :D
Btw, if you want it smooth (some kids don't like nuts) just grind the nuts first, then add everything else.  :)

I just made this this morning with cashews and it was absolutely lovely. My flatmate was most impressed! It is hard to believe there was no dairy in this 'icecream'!

I bought the waffle baskets this morning courton for when I offer this as one of my desserts tomorrow.  Should look good and I wonder if it is possible to make them myself - using your recipe Chookie, what do you reckon?

Unfortunately not Thermomixer, looks like they can only be made by the professionals.

You could make tuile mixture and make baskets.  Think it is practice makes perfect for the cones/baskets

When I make this for guests I get them to watch me - they can't talk anyway with the noise so they may as well see it with their own eyes.  It has not failed to impress yet and served in waffle baskets was nice too.  Probably far easier to buy them than try to make them Thermomixer.
