No-churn, Easy Chocolate Ice Cream recipe

This is the world’s easiest ice cream. It takes literally a minute to put together. You can easily increase this recipe to make more than it calls for. It is important that you follow the recipe exactly and use the liquor since that gives the ice cream it’s luscious scoopable consistency. I haven’t tried it with any other liquor, but in place of the rum, you could use whiskey or bourbon. The banana gives the ice cream a smooth, creamy consistency and provides the sweetness, so use a nice, ripe one. I found that this keeps for weeks in the freezer where it maintains its absolutely perfect consistency. Cheers!
