Vegan, Gluten Free, and Dairy Free Ice Cream: Banana Ice Cream

October 20, 2014 by theunmanlychef

Banana Ice Cream 3

I scream, YOU scream, WE ALL SCREAM. For some ice cream. Yes, ice cream. The wondrous mistress of our nightly adventures to the freezer. She is there for us when we are sad and when we are happy. Basically, ice cream is always there. But for us health conscious, weight conscious, or just basically conscious folk we cannot be eating ice cream everyday.

But I’m an adult, I can do what I want. Well yes, yes you can. But what if I said you could have ice cream without the guilt?

What if I said you could have ice cream and not even have to worry about the lactose/vegan shmegan/whatever else people worry about these days?

AND What if I said you could do this all with 1 ingredient? Still intrigued?

My friends, I give you Mr. Banana.

I saw this on The Kitchn, so the credit is all theirs. Evidently, my Fiancee has reported to me that this was a popular item on Pinterest too. Well I’m late to the game I guess, but I don’t care.

I’d like to say you’re welcome in advance, for CHANGING YOUR LIFE!

Banana Ice Cream 6

Recipe

Ingredients

4 Ripe Bananas Cut Up & Frozen

****I like to flavor it with 3 Tbsp. Powdered Peanut Butter****

Method

Step 1 – Cut up your ripe bananas and store them in a plastic Ziploc or tupperware.

Step 2- Once they are very frozen (about 6 hours), throw them (with your powdered PB, if you want) into your food processor.

Step 3- Start your processor, at first it will just look like a bunch of mushed up little crumbs. Do not get discouraged. Keep on processing away.

Step 4 – After about 5 or 6 minutes, you will get a nice smooth paste.  Scoop and enjoy!
