Making one-ingredient ice cream couldn't be simpler. It comes out like the frozen bananas you ate at the boardwalk as a kid, except (thanks to the high pectin content) it whips up like Marshmallow Fluff. Vegan and raw foodists have long known this trick, but a few years ago, The Kitchn published a photo tutorial and one-ingredient ice cream went mainstream. Bloggers spread the gospel and suddenly it wasn't just a workaround for ice cream, but an exciting dessert in its own right, regardless of its pure reputation.

- Step 4
Blend, blend, blend in the food processor -- scraping down the bowl when they stick.
- Step 5
Enjoy the magic moment when they turn into ice cream! Try mixing in other fruits, nut butters, or chocolate.
