Chef's Notes

Standard ice cube trays hold about 1 oz. (2 tbsp.) of liquid per cube, so you will likely need to fill 1 1/2 trays and freeze them. If you have any remaining liquid left over after measuring and freezing, use it as a sauce to pour over scooped ice cream! Silicon ice cube moulds work best. To bake the sweet potatoes, wash thoroughly and place directly on an oven rack, baking at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes or until tender. Do not boil or steam them as the excess moisture will change the quality of the blend. Be careful not to use a banana that is too ripe, or its flavour will overpower the ice cream.
