You will have a hard time believing that this frozen treat is not really ice cream, but is a good-for-you all fruit dessert. I serve this to the kids in the family and they love to build their own sundaes. It melt fast, so serve it right away or stick it in the freezer.

SERVES 1 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

ripe peeled banana, cut into chunks and frozen
milk or fruit juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1
Place frozen bananas in a food processor and puree, adding the vanilla extract and just a few spoonfuls of juice or milk to make a soft serve texture to the banana"ice cream".
2
Serve just like ice-- in a cone, in a stemmed parfait glass layered with strawberries, or as a sundae with chocolate syrup.
3
You can also flavor the"ice cream" with other frozen fruit that you puree together with the bananas.
4
Pineapple is especially delicious, and mango is wonderful.
5
For Vegan do not use the milk. Use the fruit juice.

This is perfect for me and my husband, we cannot have sugary desserts, but this let us have 'ice cream'. For adults, using a few spoonfuls of kalua, o frangelico liquor makes it extra good. Thanks for this recipe!

This saved the day when we opened the fridge and our strawberry ice cream was "chewy" (yuck). My 4-year-old was more than happy with this ... and her mom and dad enjoyed it, too! Even baby sister got to try! We did add a little sugar and honey. Wonderful!

This is so nice and creamy! Such a nice, refreshing dessert/snack. We had a filling dinner tonight.. baked cod fillets, garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli smothered in melted cheese... so this dessert was really nice to end a filling meal. I just want to stress that you need to make sure you dont add too much vanilla. I found that I had to add a little sugar to the recipe because it was a little bitter without it. This is a marvelous recipe! THANK YOU SO MUCH!..and thanks for helping me figure out the measurements I look forward to trying many of your recipes!!

OMG!! THIS WAS AMAZING!!! i was so hesitant to make it at first because it was so simple. my friends were over, and they were totally postive it would just be a big mess, but everyone loved it and went for seconds. and at first glance you didn't even say how many bananas or how much juice, so i reallyw asn't sure about the recipe. i used 2 medium sized banans with black freckles ( chunked and frozen, ) maybe about 2 spoons of orang juice, a tiny drop or 2 of apple juice. and i was about to use milk but my friends wouldn't let me, hehe.. i also added just a little spoonful of vanilla. and also maybe about a spoon or two of sugar, depending how sweet you like it. this texture is awesome and it is so incrediby healthy. i'll definitly be making this again maybe even ssome with berries
