Ingredients

4-5 Medium Frozen Bananas (1.1 pounds/500g)
2 Tablespoons Cashew Butter
10 Oreo Cookies

Instructions

Peel, slice and freeze your bananas. Place them into a freezer bag and freeze them overnight. The best way is just to keep a stock of frozen banana in your freezer so it's ready for making smoothies or nice cream.
Break up the Oreo cookies into pieces by hand. Make sure there are no tiny crumbs or they will blend into the ice cream and change the color of the ice cream. You want nice chunks of broken up Oreos.
Add the frozen banana pieces to the food processor and process. It will make a lot of noise as the bananas break up.
When the bananas are broken up into small pieces, add the cashew butter and continue to process, stopping the food processor regularly to scrape down the sides and break up any clumps that form. Continue until it smooths out and becomes a creamy soft serve consistency.
Add approximately two thirds of the Oreo pieces and pulse blend briefly just to mix them in, without breaking them up very much.
Serve immediately topped with the remaining third of the Oreo pieces.

Notes

Cashew butter - adds tons of creaminess to the recipe with a fairly neutral flavor. You could replace this with a different nut butter but it will alter the flavor.
Oreo cookies - you can use Oreo cookies or any other chocolate sandwich cookies of your choice. Use the whole cookie, there is no need to remove the centers.
Prep time - assumes the bananas have been frozen in advanced.
Serve immediately for the best texture. It has the best texture when served right away. You can transfer it to a loaf pan and freeze it for later, but the texture is not as good.
