Really Easy Delicious Healthy Ice Cream

This ice cream is definitely good for you and counts towards your five a day! But how can Ice Cream be good for me you ask. This Ice Cream is made from bananas.



I have tried so many recipes for  Ice Cream  but not having an ice cream maker it is quite challenging. This is by far the easiest that I have found and the healthiest.
Every time I make it I am amazed that bananas can turn into ice cream. The recipe makes a really lovely soft ice cream and if you leave it in the freezer overnight it turns into a harder ice cream.

& don't worry if you're not a big banana fan, I have tried adding loads of different flavours and it is so much fun. I literally have not managed to make a flavour that doesn't taste right yet. Chocolate Chunk is defiantly my favourite.
How to Make It:
  • Cut 2 bananas into coin shaped slices and put them in the freezer for a couple of hours until they are frozen.
  • Put the frozen bananas in the food processor until they are smooth.
  • Then add in any other ingredients you want to try.
  • You can eat it straight away as the frozen bananas mean that it is usuallly still frozen or you can pop it in the freezer to harden a bit more.
  • Serve it with fruit or nuts or other nice things on top or make a sauce to go with it or just eat it as it is.
Some of my favourite flavours:
 
Chocolatey Chocolate Chunk

 
  • 3 Tablespoons of Cocoa Powder

  • Chunks of your favourite Chocolate

Nutella
  • 4 Tablespoons of Nutella

Peanut Butter and Maple Syrup


  • 4 Tablespoons of Peanut Butter
  • 2 teaspoons of Maple Syrup


Peanut Butter Chocolate
  • 4 Tablespoons of Peanut Butter
  • 4 Tablespoons of Chocolate Spread ( or chunks of chocolate or both!)


Strawberry Shortcake
 
  • ½ Cup of Strawberries cut into quarters

  • 4 Shortbread Biscuits

It has to be said this one is slightly strange but I have definitely grown to love it. Just don’t expect a flavour like other Strawberry Ice Creams.

Cinnamon Fudge
 
  • 4 Tablespoons of Condensed Milk
  • 1 Teaspoon of Cinnamon
Honey and Fig


  • 4 Figs
  • 2 Tablespoons of Honey
