It is best to make this in advance, so that you have time to freeze the bananas. Actual prep time can vary - with frozen bananas prep time is about 15 minutes.

You will also need a powerful blender (I use the ninja blender) and gallon sized freezer bags.

This ice cream is delightfully sweet, smooth, minimal effort and easy to make and clean up. And totally guilt free and diet friendly. Who says you need to give up the best things in life when you can make them just as tasty, but a million times healthier?

Steps

1

Make sure to prepare ahead of time as you will need to freeze bananas. Most freezers will take between 3 and 4 hours.
2

Starting off, peel your bananas and cut into slices approximately half a centimeter thick.
3

Place banana slices into a gallon size freezer bag and arrange them so they lay separate from each other, flat inside the bag.
4

Freeze bananas.
5

Once the bananas are frozen solid, remove them from the freezer and let them sit out and thaw slightly - enough to allow you to pinch them and break them in half. About 10 minutes.
6

Once bananas have thawed, dump them into the blender. Add cocoa powder (or any other flavor), and blend until smooth. You may have to pause and stir so that clumps reach the bottom.
7

Serve, and eat immediately. Enjoy!
8

You do not have to use cocoa powder, however it is by far my favorite flavor ;). You may also throw in a handful of berries or other fruit, a tsp of vanilla extract, flavored jam or jelly, nuts, marshmallow cream (don't use regular marshmallows!), coconut, or whatever flavor you like. Try not to use watery fruit like watermelon or cantaloupe as they will make the ice cream runny. If you use smaller sized bananas, use three or four for one serving.

I absolutely love cooking - I've been in the kitchen my entire life. I always (always) cook or bake using gluten free ingredients as I have celiac disease. I also try to avoid dairy but will absolutely use a whole stick of butter whenever possible. That's some good stuff.
