Jennie Ahlgren's Banana "Ice Cream"

Okay, So I thought I had the PERFECT recipe! BUT my good pageant friend, Jennie, taught me differently her Banana "ice cream" put my cinnamon chocolate "ice cream" to absolute shame! Here is her recipe below that she posted in my blog.. I'll add little tricks that I used to make my perfect "banana ice cream"

Ingredients:

- As many bananas as you would like.. I prefer them VERY ripe (black and about to rot)

- Desired toppings: Peanut butter, chocolate, honey, marshmallow fluff, etc.

Directions:

1. Take a banana (or 2 or 3) and cut it up into small slices.
2. Place the banana slices into a plastic freezer bag.
3. Mash up the banana slices with your hands (I like to leave some chunks in there).
4. Put the mashed bananas in the freezer (leave in there until they have reached your desired consistency)
5. Take out the frozen banana puree and serve or run it through a food processor.
6. Serve as is, with honey and peanut butter, or low-fat chocolate sauce :)

cCy and Pearls tips

- Instead of using the food processor I use the microwave. Simply put the bananas in tubberware and place in the microwave to soften. They'll be easy to mash and will scoop out just like ice cream!

- Jennie used Caramel and Rainbow sprinkles to top it off! I mixed in microwaved peanut butter and honey.. it was DELISH!

- I like to mix it up to get the perfect "sweetness." Instead of using all ripe bananas I used 3 ripe and 1 pretty raw one... it tasted wonderfully

I hope you enjoy my this recipe and please continue sharing yours!!
