Note
For best texture, ensure the banana is ripe before slicing and freezing.
If the mixture is too hard to blend after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before blending.
You can substitute dark rum for a richer flavor profile.
To make this non-alcoholic, omit the rum and add an extra 1/4 cup of water or coconut water.
For a thicker consistency, add a few ice cubes while blending.
