- Peel and freeze some bananas (I use two bananas per person eating).
- Once they are completely frozen take them and throw them into your food processor with a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice (this helps it stay yellow instead of turning brown and gives it a lovely freshness).
- Start your food processor at its highest setting and let it go and go and go at least 3 minutes
- Part way through the process you might feel certain that it's not working, and you won't get ice cream. Flip the off switch and scrape down the edges.
- Then keep going, for a total of about 5 or 6 minutes and you will get ice cream! Lovely light fast healthy banana ice cream.
Some suggestions: Top it with walnuts, raisins, sunflower seeds, a dash of nutmeg, or berries and enjoy. You can also add other fruit into the processor with bananas, as long as there is enough banana, it will always turn into ice cream. If you want a banana bread flavoring, try adding a touch of honey with just a trace of your favorite spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom.
It doesn't keep really well, so be ready to eat what you make. Or put it on top of a cupcake or cookie. Fast, versatile and pretty much idiot proof. A winner here! :)
Cheers!
