Frozen Banana Chocolate Ice Cream
By SugarPlumPosts - 14:26
I
read somewhere recently that if you blend frozen bananas it makes an
ice cream-like desert that you can add numerous different flavours
to. Blueberries, peanut butter, coco powder... whatever you like! I'm
not a massive lover of bananas; I will eat them but they're not my
favourite. So, I didn't have high hopes for this recipe. But because
it was cheap and simple I thought it was worth a shot. And I was
blown away by the results. I made a chocolate banana ice cream and
surprisingly this actually tastes like a fantastic ice cream
alternative. I was worried it would just taste of mashed bananas but
it really doesn't. A smooth, creamy, chocolatey ice cream with a
subtle and not overpowering banana taste. This is a fantastic
alternative to dairy ice cream and it's super easy to make.
How
to make – Serves two
Take
3 bananas, chop them up and freeze them.
In
a few hours, or the next day, put the frozen banana chunks into a
blender (or for me I used a hand processor as our blender can't cope
with bananas..) and whizz until smooth. I added a little soya milk so
that it blended easier but this is completely optional.
Add
2 teaspoons of cocoa powder and 2 teaspoons of sugar, blend again.
Add
more cocoa powder or sugar to taste.
You
can add strawberries, raspberries or blueberries to decorate. As you
can see I didn't have any when I made it... that's why my photo looks
a bit rubbish haha. Oh well, looks aren't everything, it tasted so
good though!
As
I said earlier, add anything you like to this recipe it doesn't have
to be cocoa powder. That's why cooking (or in this case mashing) is
fun, you can break the rules ;)
