Banana "Ice Cream"
Always on the hunt for dairy free treats for the youngster, I decided to try a recipe for banana "ice cream" that I saw on Pinterest! I have to admit, I didn't really follow the recipe but just took the idea and ran with it. So, I sliced 2 bananas and set them on a plate in the freezer for a few hours. Then, I dumped the bananas into a blender and mixed until they were creamy smooth. This was a bit of a process and I had to stop several times to scrape the sides of the blender. I think a food processor would work much better for this. Next I added a nice sized scoop of smooth peanut butter, a few spoonfuls of cocoa and blended it until everything was thoroughly mixed. It had a nice, airy texture, similar to chocolate mousse! I scooped the mixture into a few smaller containers and placed them in the freezer, allowing the mixture to firm up a bit and to be eaten as "ice cream". Needless to say, it was a HIT!
