A friend from Portland asked me what she can do with her overly ripe bananas. Many recipes came up in my mind instantaneously. I'll share this recipe with you first since it is delicious and simple.
This recipe was shared with me by a wonderful co-worker in Oregon. It is from Choosing Raw, a wonderful place to find raw recipes.
This dessert has the texture of ice cream and is simply amazing. It is creamy and fluffy, just like good ice cream. Since only bananas are used, it taste like bananas. The sweetness of this dessert depends on when you freeze your bananas. Mine were super sweet but I didn't get the sugar crash because its all natural!
Ingredients
Frozen bananas
Topping ideas: fresh or frozen fruit, melted chocolate, nuts, honey, etc.
Method:
1. Choose very ripe bananas to freeze. Skin of the bananas should have dark spots all over. Peel the bananas before freezing them in your desired container.
2. Place frozen bananas into the food processor. It is okay if bananas suffered frost bite. If using a blender or hand-held blender, break bananas into smaller pieces, about half an inch in size.
3. Pulse bananas in food processor to break it into smaller pieces for 20 seconds. It will look very choppy.
4. Run the food processor on low for about 10 seconds, then on high. You will need to scrape the sides of the container and blade when it gets stuck. You'll need to do this more often with a blender and hand-held blender.
5. As you blend the bananas, it will become creamy and fluffy. It will resemble soft serve ice cream.
