Ingredients

  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 cup (250g) mashed bananas

Directions

  1. 1

    Melt the marshmallows in the milk in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until uniform.

  2. 2

    Add the lemon juice and mashed banana, take off the heat, stir in the vanilla, and transfer to a large bowl to cool completely to room temperature.

  3. 3

    Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks (don't overwhip).

  4. 4

    Fold the whipped cream into the cooled marshmallow mixture in three additions until uniform, then fold in the cherries.

  5. 5

    Pour into a shallow 9x13-inch dish, cover, and freeze. For a smoother texture, every 40 minutes stir and pull the frozen edges inward — repeat 3–4 times.

  6. 6

    Let it soften ~30 minutes before serving.
