Banana Ice Cream

I read this recipe somewhere, I cannot remember where, but I committed it to memory because I knew it was something we needed to try. Although, the recipe I read did not mention adding milk, it seemed like a good addition to me and really made it come together and be "creamy."

I peeled and chopped up 1 bunch of bananas, stuck them in a Ziploc freezer bag and there they sat for a couple days. I actually think it would have turned out better if I wouldn't have left them sit in the freezer so long.

I then slowly added them to my food processor and let it mix for a few minutes, basically until it became so thick I knew I needed to add a little milk. I added 2 ounces of milk and let it mix a bit more until it was the consistency of creamy ice cream.


Ours turned out a little bitter. Again, I think it was due to the bananas possibly being a bit freezer burnt. Next time I will try using freshly frozen bananas and I have a sneaking suspicion it will be even better. It was still yummy. We topped ours with a little chocolate syrup.
What a yummy, healthy way to give your kids ice cream!
