Healthy banana 'ice-cream'

I found a recipe for banana 'ice-cream' where you just chop up bananas, freeze them, then whizz up in a food processor/blender until creamy. Nothing else needed.

I made this last night to go with the pancakes and it was unbelievably lovely - the only thing is, the banana chunks were so hard the blender struggled and the motor started to smoke.

Has anyone else made this and if so, how do you make the frozen bananas easier to blend? Should I have allowed them to defrost a wee bit first?

How about whizzing them first then freezing them?
Sounds yummy though

I might try that Nippy.

I think I probably froze them for too long - looking online it says around 2 hours but I did it for more than 24 and didn't let them defrost a little.
