Banana Ice-cream – dairy free and flavour abundant

Ice-cream is such a decadent treat especially on a hot day, but still lovely on a cold evening snuggled under a blanket. However, as its predominant ingredients are cream and sugar it isn’t the healthiest of options, especially if you are lactose intolerant. However, it is possible to make the tastiest of ice-creams without either of those ingredients, in fact the only ingredient you will need is a banana. I kid you not! Bonkers I know but bananas contain natural fats which when treated correctly can produce the most creamy, tastiest ice-cream within 90 minutes.

Ingredients

Banana ( 1 large per person )

Tools

plate, freezer, blender / hand blender

Method

Simply slice the banana and place it on a plate in the freezer.IMG_5287

Leave between 60 and 90 minutes – any longer and blending becomes a tad tricky. Then blend, I use a hand blender. It can take a while to get it going but you will get there.

Then serve. It really is that easy. To jazz it up a bit a spoonful of peanut butter or dark chocolate chips at the end is wonderful.
