Banana Maple Walnut Ice Cream
3 frozen bananas
1/4 cup walnut pieces
maple syrup to taste, about 1-3 tsp depending on how sweet you like it
Put the banana into the bowl of your food processor. Being to pulse at 5-10 second intervals. You don't want to let the food processor run continuously as the heat with melt the bananas. When the banana is about half smooth mush and half chunks throw in half the nuts. Process in pulses again. Next drizzle in the maple syrup. All let's left to do is fold in the rest of the nuts. If you don't like large chunks of nut you can put them all in earlier.
Scoop and serve! That's it! And it it hadn't been 93 degrees in my kitchen, it wouldn't look like such a melted mess. But do looks really matter when something is this good? I think not! This made on BIG serving, two normal servings or three kid size servings. Adjust the amount of ingredients to your needs.
Of course the options are endless. You can do peanut butter and banana, chocolate banana, coconut banana. Really let your imagination and taste-buds run wild. I'd love to hear what combinations you come up with.

Oh my Elizabeth, that looks just wonderful and the best part is I already have frozen bananas in freezer.
ReplyDeleteI have been taking 1 cup frozen mango and blending it with 1/2 cups canned coconut milk which has been really good too.
Oh mango and coconut milk sound wonderful. I will have to give that one a try. We really like this one, because we always seem to have frozen bananas.
DeleteI couldn't agree with you more. This is a great idea...I am going to have to try this!

YUM! Have you ever seen the Yonana machine? We have one, and it works great! It turns any fruit into the consistency of soft serve ice cream!
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to come over and play around with it sometime.
Love, Dayna
