INSTANT DESSERT! a.k.a. Banana ice cream, the easiest “ice-cream” recipe in the entire world
Posted by andrea tomkins in: Easy ways to make kids happy|Recipes and Food
I used to make this all the time when the girls were small. I called it ice cream even though it doesn’t really qualify. There’s no cream in this ice cream. Or milk. And there’s no added sugar either.
There’s only one ingredient, and it’s probably something you have in your home right now: bananas. You’ll need three or four bananas to make four servings.
Here’s the how-to.
Banana faux ice-cream
- 1) Take your spotted almost-too-ripe-to-eat bananas (we call them giraffe bananas), peel them, break them into 1-2″ chunks, toss them into a container and pop it into the freezer. It takes us a few weeks to accumulate enough bananas (they get eaten pretty fast around here).
- 2) Ready to make it? Thaw the bananas for 5 or 10 minutes and throw them into your blender.
- 3) Blend.
- 4) Serve.
The consistency is amazingly similar to real ice cream, and it’s actually quite sweet.
Let me know if you try this one. I think you’ll be surprised at how yummy it is.
