The first time we tried this, we only had a blender handy and the results did not resemble all the pins you see of this recipe on Pinterest and such places.
Since that time, I finally replaced my old food processor. So we gave the recipe another go.
Ingredients:
Bananas~ sliced into 'medallions'
>>For ease of use, we lined plates with the banana slices and covered them with wax paper. This allowed for stacking the plates due to limited space in the freezer. <<
Once bananas are frozen, pulse in a food processor until creamy. We neglected to make this recipe the day we intended, so the bananas were frozen pretty solid. It took a little extra scraping down the sides of the processor for everything to mesh together.
Serve immediately. Delaying too long will not lead to melting as with ice cream, but it will lead to more of a mashed banana treat than a frozen one.
Personally, I am a fan of banana ice cream. When I used to work at an ice cream scooping place, my favorite thing was to crush Reese Cups into a scoop of banana. As children, we used to get frozen, chocolate covered bananas a lot. So, we topped our 'sundae' with a mix of those flavors- peanut butter and chocolate.
Riley insisted on sprinkles of course.
If you are a banana split fan, this whip may be equally as tasty with strawberry or pineapple topping- or both!
