Satisfy Ice Cream Cravings!-- My new favorite food discovery
Options
I saw this recipe on Pinterest (I think), but now I can't find it again. I wish I could give credit to the website that I found it on, so just know that this is not an original recipe from me.
Also, you will not like this recipe if you do not like bananas.
Cut up about 3 almost overly ripe bananas into 1/4"-1/2" rounds.
Freeze.
Put the banana into a blender. At first it will become "gravelly" (exact words of the website), but then it will become creamy like ice cream. It takes awhile, and you may have to scrape the sides of the blender a couple of times.
When it is sufficiently creamy, voila! Banana ice cream.
If you like chocolate and peanut butter, you can add a tablespoon of each or only one. Have fun with it.
Seriously, I couldn't believe how much it was like eating ice cream. I even began feeling guilty before I remembered... wait this is just made of bananas.
**EDIT: I found a website that has the recipe on it. This is not the original website I saw, though. Also, I just froze my bananas in a freezer bag overnight.

I think I found this on Pinterest too but can't remember where. I tried it and you're right, you have to like banana's cuz it's basically banana flavored ice cream. My husband didn't like it. I did and was amazed at the ice cream like texture.0
