31 Days of MOO No. 12 Oh so Easy MOO Banana Ice Cream

​I was quite surprised to realise that not everyone knew about this simple, fat free, dairy free, totally delicious and so easy to make "ice-cream".

All you need is banana. I usually use six large bananas at a time, but you can use just one or two, depending on how many serves you want. This is a fabulous way to use up those soft bananas no one will eat, just pop them in the freezer until you're ready to make ice-cream, then let them thaw for about half an hour before you use them.

Step 1. Peel your bananas first. Cut them into small pieces.

Step 2. Freeze for just 1-2 hours on a baking sheet or freezer safe plate.

Step 3. Put the frozen banana into the food processor (or a jug and use a stick blender) and blend, blend, blend – scraping down the sides of the bowl when they stick. Keep blending until the banana has reached the consistency of ice-cream.

At this stage you can eat it or put it into an air-tight container and freeze. It goes well in icy-pole moulds for individual banana pops too.

Want to glam it up a little? Try these variations:

Hazelnut Chocolate Banana Ice Cream
For every two frozen bananas you will need 4 tablespoons of chocolate hazelnut spread. Blend bananas in food processor until they are the consistency of soft serve ice cream. Blend in the choc hazelnut spread, transfer to a freezer container and freeze until solid.

Peanut Butter & Honey Banana Ice Cream
For every two bananas you will need 3 tablespoons of peanut butter (try crunchy for a delicious twist) and 2 teaspoons of honey. Blend bananas in food processor until they are the consistency of soft serve ice cream. Blend in peanut butter and honey and transfer to a freezer container and freeze until solid.

Strawberry Yoghurt Banana Ice Cream
For every two bananas you will need 2 tablespoons of plain, full fat yoghurt and 1/2 cup chopped fresh strawberries. Blend bananas in food processor until they are the consistency of soft serve ice cream. Blend in strawberries and yoghurt until smooth, and transfer to a freezer container and freeze until solid.
