I was searching the web for diet foods one day and came across this recipe. I decided to give it a try. And I think it was delicious. So nutritious for the children. I took a couple bunch of frozen bananas to work with my little ninja blender one night and we made this at work for lunch desert. The mothers there enjoyed it. It is a healthy alternative to Ice cream.
What you need is some quite ripe bananas. Because a ripe banana is more sweet.
I peel the banana and cut them into small pieces. Put two to a small sandwich baggie for one good bowl of desert. Then freeze them until they are completely frozen. I usually put them in the night before I want the dessert. However, a couple hours will probably do the trick.
Then put them in a blender. I use my ninja blender. I am sure any blender that whips will work.
At first the banana will crumble into what looks like crumbled bread. You have to open the blender and push this down so it can be blended more. Just keep pushing down the banana and blend until it blends into a nice creamy ice cream. Delicious.
It takes about 2 or 3 minutes of constant blending.
So in a nutshell:
• Peel your bananas.
• Cut them into small pieces.
• Freeze for just 1-2 hours at least in a baggie. Make sure it is frozen.
• Blend, blend, blend - scraping down the bowl when they stick.
• Enjoy this one ingredient ice cream that is so much more healthy then commercial ice cream.
The only fruit you should blend with this is the banana. Because the banana is the only fruit I have found that will whip into ice cream.
You can however, after you have whipped the banana swirl chocolate, peanut butter or whatever flavor you enjoy into the banana.
