Friday night treat; Banana and Chocolate 'Ice Cream'

Happy Friday!!   This week seems to have been endless at times but now its nearly done and its no cook Friday again!  Friday night is movie and take away night, I do like to make something to pick on later in the evening and today I have landed on banana 'ice cream', now these are big inverted commas, if you don't like bananas hit close now!

This idea is all over the place at the moment and first tried it out a couple of months ago and I have to say I was impressed.

Banana and Chocolate 'Ice Cream

Bananas
Hot Chocolate powder (Options/highlights)

Literally all you need to do is chop bananas into slices, and stick them in the freezer for 3 or more hours
Once frozen put the banana into a food processor and blitz
The bananas break into tiny shards and you need to keep scraping the sides down to push the chunks back in way of the blades

Eventually you get a smooth consistency, keep blitzing and it gets a smooth and light texture
Its very edible now but, I like to add a bit of chocolate powder to give it a real treat feel, there are loads of things you can add to make it more exciting, pretend its ice cream and add sauces or whatever you fancy

Since I first made this my freezer permanently has a bag of frozen bananas so we are always just a couple of minutes away from a sweet treat.   I would also recommend you use bananas that are fairly new, the more brown your bananas the more overpowering banana flavour. I also have to warn you if you are following slimming world, this is not a free food, because the banana has been altered you have to count it as syns, but do so in the happy knowledge that its still good for you!
