We all heard about one ingredient frozen Banana Ice Cream. Everybody says it’s very easy and delicious. I literally had a BUNCH of Bananas so I thought I’d give it a try. The Forking Truth is that it’s not as easy as everyone says. But honestly after I figured out how to blend it up the “fake Ice Cream” did indeed come out delicious.
Get a bunch of bananas….I hear that you want them ripe but firm. (P.S. you can sometimes get a HUMUNGOUS bunch of bananas just like this once in a while from the 99cent store)
Peel the bananas and cut them in slices and then freeze over night.
I used a tub….
after doing so I think a big ziplock bag would have been a little better because it wouldn’t have been a thick of a frozen brick.
“Wow I got a Rock”
I got a big rock of banana.
I have to let it sit till I can hack off banana slices and blend them with a stick blender…..a little at a time…….I seriously think this recipe will only work with a professional strength stick blender like what I have.
I keep going about a cup at a time till I’m done and the bananas need to firm up a little more in the freezer.
To my surprise the bananas are very sweet and this doesn’t even need a thing but I add a spoonful of cinnamon and swirl it through just for fun. This goes back in the freezer to firm up.
Four hours latter it’s a nice consistency….Firm but very creamy.
It creamy and almost like Ice Cream. It has a really great banana flavor. I thought a little bit of cinnamon in it would be good ( and it is). I also thought a little crushed milk chocolate would go well here too. Many other variations can be made….A natural peanut butter swirl would be yum!……..Banana/Cocoa……..Banana/Melon……… Banana with Butterscotch …..Banana Malt……Banana/Strawberry……..Banana/Walnut…..How about Banana with Coconut? ……Maybe Banana Rum Raisin….I think Banana, Mango and Lime would be great too.
I think this is a much healthier and maybe tastier alternative to Ice Cream. (well most supermarket ice cream)
This one Ingredient Banana Confection really is Forking Good!
