Banana Ice Cream

My mom made me a delightful treat the other day on a visit. A treat that I have been meaning to test out myself and it was just as good as I thought it would be!  My mom made a delightful batch of Banana, Peanut Butter and cocoa Ice Cream it was Amazing!!!

Ice Cream made from Bananas
(I forgot to take a picture while i was there...so this is one i found on my pinterest page)

It is a much healthier substitute to ice cream and it tastes just as good.

What you'll need:

4 over ripe bananas- I would peel them chop them into pieces then you want to freeze them for a couple hours (makes 4 servings)

Then pick what ever flavoring you'd like...cocoa powder to make a chocolate ice cream, peanut butter, nutella, strawberries any other fruit you enjoy.

Then all you do is pop the bananas in your food processor until well blended, make sure you scrape the sides to make sure you are getting all the bananas and add your flavor of choice.

It is such an easy option instead of running out to your local ice cream parlor and really is just as good if not better than the classic.


Here are some recipe suggestions i found all thanks to TheKitchn.  These recipes all make 2 servings
