Paper Plate Gourmet : “Mock” Banana Ice Cream

So, I will preface with the note that this does not ACTUALLY taste 100% like ice cream.  It tastes like a banana with the consistency of gelato.   (Hence the mustache… get it?  It’s like a banana in disguise?  It’s funny…)

But it is oh-so-tasty, especially when ‘garnished’ with chocolate chips, whipped cream or something else similarly detrimental to your diet.   Craig made fun of my chips. But hey, if you can keep it to a minimum, this just may be the snack that gets you through your weight loss.

All kidding aside, I found this ‘recipe’ on a very cool site (it’s vegan approved, well, before the milk chocolate chips!).  You do need a food processor – but that is all the special equipment you need.  Oh, and a cold banana.

Ingredients

1 Banana (mine was brownish and a little scary looking.  I put it in the fridge for a few hours to cool it off.  I have found that the frozen banana didn’t chop up well in my food processor)

Directions

1. Break that banana into some chunks, toss it into the food processor and go to town until the recipe is smooth-ish.
2. Marvel at the ease of this ‘recipe’
3. Put it into a bowl, adorn with your toppings of choice
4. Don’t feel guilty – it’s a banana!!!!
