Calling for overripe bananas, this easy banana frosting recipe has a fresh, creamy taste .  A squeeze of lemon juice also enlivens this delicious frosting recipe.

The article provides a banana cake recipe to accompany the frosting, but we think a vanilla or chocolate cake would work beautifully as well.

Banana Frosting Recipe
3 overripe bananas, mashed (1 ½ cups)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon milk
2 cups confectioners’ sugar

Instructions

Mash bananas thoroughly a second time with the lemon juice and scrape into bowl of an electric mixer. Add the vanilla and milk; beat well. Gradually beat in the confectioners’ sugar. Because the size and ripeness of the bananas will affect the flavor and consistency, taste frosting and adjust sugar, or if too stiff, add a little milk. Beat on medium-high speed for 3 minutes, until the frosting is very creamy.
