I can never resist a bargain, which is how I ended up with more ripe bananas than I knew what to do with! All of these bananas cost me only $1.15!! That’s less than my normal weekly bunch, and they would have gone to waste otherwise. I had to buy them!
So, a banana challenge! What could I do with all these bananas, and how could I use them up before they turned into banana mush?
A bonanza of banana recipes coming your way…!
Recipe 1: Black Forest Ice Cream
Fruity and refreshing ice cream with a hint of chocolate. The banana keeps it creamy and indulgent tasting but it’s dairy and added sugar free! Perfect for a hot summer afternoon on the balcony.
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe banana, frozen.
- 1 cup of mixed forest fruits, frozen.
- 1 tsp cocoa powder.
Method:
- Put all your ingredients into a blender, if you froze your banana whole, break it down into smaller chunks.
- Liquidize! *
- Enjoy straight away, or pop in the freezer to firm up if you prefer.
*This could take a while, depending on the power of your blender. Keep persevering and stirring the mix with a spoon if necessary, eventually it should start to blend together. If your blender really isn’t powerful enough to cope with frozen fruit, add a little milk and pop the mix back in the freezer afterwards to firm up.
