Did you know that you can make ice cream from frozen bananas? No cream, no eggs...just frozen bananas. You will not believe how they transform into (ice) creamy goodness. I first saw it last summer on Two Peas and Their Pod. I cannot believe it has taken me a year to try it. Mr. E is always going on and on about how frozen bananas are such a good dessert. (That is typically where I roll my eyes and reach for a cookie.) I'm gonna say...he may have been onto something. Here's what you do: Freeze up about 4 bananas. Go ahead and peel and slice them. It's easier to freeze them in a single layer... ....or an *almost* single layer in my case. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer baggie. When you're ready for ice cream, blend it up. Oh, and add Nutella. You know you want to. {Note: this is definitely a banana ice cream with a little taste of Nutella, not the other way around. I was a little worried when kiddo said, "This REALLY tastes like banana." In the next breath, though, he said, "This ice cream is SO good." *whew*} Nutella Banana Ice Cream {serves 4-6} 4 bananas, sliced and frozen 5 TBSP Nutella In a heavy-duty, high-powered blender (or food processor), process the bananas, scraping down the sides of the blender every so often. (If you're having a hard time with the blending, add a splash of milk or coconut milk.) This will take several minutes, then all of a sudden, it's smooth and creamy. Add the Nutella and process until blended. Serve immediately for soft serve (as shown), or freeze for a few hours until scoop-able. Two-ingredient ice cream...it's a real thing. I'm thinking for the next batch: Oreos? Cookie Butter? Nilla Wafers? Marshmallow Cream? (I think you see where this is going.)
