Recently, thanks again to Canadian Living, I have discovered this fabulous one ingredient 'ice-cream', that is not only a cool treat, but is also dairy free!
The ingredient you may be wondering is Banana's!
One of my favourite things about cooking and baking, is the scientific element to it. The way you measure ingredients, and certain ingredients react to other ingredients to create something completely different. Think about the way yeast makes dough rise, or when you whip egg whites to create meringues. How is it that our food does this? And more importantly, who was the first person to discover this?
I don't know who first discovered this banana treat, but we've had it a couple of times and each time it has been great. This is definitely going to be on the summer hit list, it's easy, affordable, and also good for you!
One Ingredient Banana Ice Cream
- Banana's
1 - Peel and slice banana's no thinner than 1/4 inch thick. Place on cookie sheet or plate and freeze about 6 hours or overnight.
2 - Place banana's in food processor fitted with steel blade. Pulse.
3 - At first banana's will become granular, almost like astronaut ice cream. When this happens scrape down sides of bowl, continuing to scrape and pulse.
4 - Then the beautiful transformation takes place, and voila! The banana's begin to turn into a wonderful, creamy dessert.
If you'd like a soft-serve consistency, enjoy right away. For a harder 'ice-cream' texture, freeze and serve later (if you can wait!).
The first time we went with banana's only. The second time we decided to combo with strawberries. Make sure at least half the mixture is banana, and go ahead and experiment!
