Dessert Friday: Single Ingredient Ice Cream

Pinspiration: http://pinterest.com/pin/185210603398091896/

I had read over this recipe a bunch of times, but when it came down to actually making it, I couldn't find it anywhere. So I didn't measure anything. I just blended it until it looked good.


Frozen banana slices with a couple teaspoons of peanut butter and some cocoa powder (you could use chocolate protein powder if you want some extra protein).


I think next time I'll freeze it before eating.

"Single" ingredient ice cream (slightly modified)

Bananas, just slightly overripe
Optional:
Creamy peanut butter
Cocoa powder
Fruit (frozen or fresh... if frozen, a blender may be easier to use)
Whatever you like in ice cream

1. Peel the bananas and slice into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick disks.
2. Place the banana slices in the freezer for about an hour or until they are frozen solid. When bananas start to get too brown, I'll slice them and freeze them for whenever I need them.
3. Put the frozen slices in a food processor and pulse. Once the bananas start turning into a frozen mush, start scraping the sides down. Or you add a dash of milk to help the blending.
4. When the bananas look like whipped ice cream, you can add your mix-ins.
5. Straight out of the food processor, the ice cream is like soft serve. You can also freeze it for a firmer texture.

Review:

It was ok. I'll probably try it with other mix-ins to find out what I like best. But I definitely prefer a firmer ice cream.


Loved the clouds!
