GUILT FREE Ice Cream

Now that I have figured this out, I purposely buy too many bananas to make sure some go "bad" so that I can make this!

Base Recipe:

2 very ripe bananas

(Yes that is the only ingredient in it)

Pill and chop up bananas (into slices) and put them into a sandwich bag and put it in the freezer 

I have found that it works best if they have been in the freezer AT LEAST overnight

Put the frozen bananas into a blender, food processor, or ninja ( I have used ALL three of these, but I use my Ninja the most- but the other two work just as well!)

At first when the bananas are getting blended it looks like Dip-n-Dots ice cream, the more it is blended, it turns into MAGIC! 

Some reason when frozen bananas are blended the texture turns into an ice cream like texture!

This makes a big enough bowl for Derrick and I to share, but if you want to have it yourself you can without feeling guilty!

Now for the Raspberry or Peaches N' Cream:

Frozen Raspberries or Peaches, or whatever flavor you might want! (just freeze up that fruit- I had a bunch of extra fruit from a few weeks ago that was about to go bad so I put them in sandwich bags and threw them into the freezer for a rainy day) 

After you have made the banana "ice cream" take it out of the blender and put in it a separate bowl.   

Put frozen Raspberries into Blender and chop them up- after they are almost a fine powder add the banana ice cream back into the blender and re-blend it back up!  It turns into a tart raspberry ice cream!  I put it into a bowl and added a small dollop of fat free whip cream just for the "creamy" part.

I did the same technique for the Peaches N Cream, I didn't wash out my blender between the two so the peaches had a little bit of raspberry swirled in it!  It was quite amazing!

HINT: if you are using a Ninja, use the metal blade piece first, then after it is chopped I replace it for the "whipping" square-ish piece for the creamy texture!

HINT: if you are using a blender or food processor, it will seem like you are blending for a VERY long time, but it will turn into ice cream, to speed up the process, add small amounts of banana at a time to make your base!

Even if you aren't a fan of bananas once you add the other fruit in with it, it completely masks the flavor of the bananas- if it doesn't...add more fruit!
