Fancy ice cream, but you’re trying to lose weight or keeping healthy? Here’s a dairy-free natural alternative to the usual processed high-calorie version you find in the shops – banana ice cream!

Serves 2

Cook /

Prep 10 minutes (+ rest in the freezer for an hour)

Ingredients

• 2 ripe bananas (allow 1 medium banana per person minimum)
• Any flavours or toppings you’d like, such as cocoa powder, coconut shavings, almond flakes, peanut butter, raspberries, chocolate chips, …

Instructions

1. Break up the bananas into pieces.
2. Blend the bananas in a food processor. Don’t be in a hurry – it takes time. Keep on blending and scraping down until all the banana blend has become smooth.
3. Add your chosen toppings and blend or stir well. I picked chocolate chips, raspberries, and coconut flakes.
4. Transfer the ice-cream into a bowl.
5. Decorate as you please.
6. Put in the freezer for about an hour.
7. Take out of the freezer and let it rest if completely frozen.
