I am an ice-cream lover and I am sure most of us are too. The only reason I restrain myself from eating ice-cream is for the obvious health reasons. I have been reading a lot about frozen fruit natural ice-creams these days as a healthy substitute of dairy and sugar containing ice-creams but had never tried any of them. Yes, I have used frozen bananas for smoothies (I love banana strawberry smoothie:) ) and have two or three laying always in my freezer. Pureed frozen banana resembles exactly to soft serve ice-cream. You can either refrigerate it and make it solid and enjoy this guilt-free, gluten-free and vegan ice-cream later.
It is advised to use over ripe bananas else you have to use additional honey or sugar to make it sweet. Add frozen bananas and unsweetened choco powder in a blender and enjoy this soft, smooth and naturally sweet ice-cream. Depending upon your personal choice if you find it bitter, add some honey or maple syrup or add more choco powder if you want it to be bitter and more chocolaty. You can use chocolate syrup too and it is advised to place parchment paper on the tray else the bananas might get stuck to the plate. So, don’t restrict yourself and enjoy this nutritious ice-cream with the goodness of bananas.
