One-Ingredient Banana Ice Cream

The following string I received from my step-daughter couple of days ago. It shows how to make the banana ice cream in a blender out of 1 (?!) ingredient – banana:

We made it yesterday – on the record-hot day in Michigan; just followed the instructions. It was so good that we had no time to make a picture of it.
Well, I swear, it looked just as on the pictures provided in the recipe.
Anyway, it was too hot for photo-sessions.
We used our old blender, because my husband was concerned about possible scratches to our precious Vitamix.  I took 2 good-looking bananas (not overripe); had been thinking of adding honey or agave, but decided not to, and it was a really smart decision – the ice cream came out very sweet.
It also was creamy and felt ‘fattening’, though there is no fat in bananas, at least, not to my knowledge.  
The only recommendation – keep the working blender open and scrapе frozen banana from the sides to center (be careful not to touch working blades, though!). 
It became ready pretty fast - in 5 min, or so.  
I sprinkled mine with walnuts. My husband ate it ‘as is’.
We really liked it.
Enjoy!
