Summer Treat: Banana Chocolate “Ice Cream”

When the kids are watching Disney Channel, I sometimes watch with them. Ok, ok, you caught me sometime I watch without the kids. I cannot help it, I think Good Luck, Charlie is pretty funny for a kids show.

Anyway, sometimes in between shows there is this little cooking segment. I’m not really sure who hosts it, but I do take notice anytime anything cooking related comes on television.

A few weeks ago, I saw them make banana “ice cream.” I couldn’t believe how healthy and simple this “ice cream” was to make. The reason I keep putting “ice cream” in quotes is because there is no cream, milk, eggs, or sugar in this ice cream, but I’m not really sure what else to call this treat. In the thirty second spot on TV, I pretty much got the gist of the recipe and and I could not wait to try it as a summertime treat.

As you can see, I did make one change though, I added some chocolate syrup, because let’s face it… everything is better with a little chocolate. However, the chocolate is completely optional, and I think would be great with all kinds of other toppings or mix ins.

Chocolate Banana “Ice Cream”

4 large ripe bananas cut into sliced
2 Tbs chocolate syrup

Put the sliced bananas in a freezer safe container or freezer bag. Put in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Next, put in a food processor and begin to blend until fluffy consistency is formed.

Add chocolate syrup and blend for 10 seconds until well combined. Serve.

Suggestions for Other Toppings or Mix Ins
– Sliced strawberries
– Sprinkles
– Chocolate chips
– Almonds
– Pineapple chunks
– Nutella
– Peanut Butter
– Blueberries
– Sprinkle of Cinnamon

Do you think you could get any healthier than whipped frozen bananas that taste like Ice Cream for dessert?
