Banana “Ice Cream”




This is a great trick we learned from Food Network.  If you puree frozen bananas, they eventually take on the consistency of ice cream.  It’s really cool!  It works best if you let the bananas turn brown & ripe and really sweeten.  Cut the bananas into slices and throw them into the freezer overnight.  You may want to cover them so they don’t take on a “freezer taste”.  Then blend them up in a food processor until they start to look like ice cream.

You can add honey for added sweetness; but they’re delicious on their own.  Peanut butter is also a nice addition for a twist a la “The King’s” fried peanut butter & banana sandwiches.

We have topped them with chocolate sauce, nuts, or fresh berries.  This photo has strawberries, raspberries, pecans, and a molasses cookie.

This is a really fun thing to do in the kitchen.  And you can indulge and not feel guilty because after all, it’s just bananas.  So go nuts!
