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