So after seeing the dark side of Ice Creams lets clear the fog and start celebrating the charm of this recipe.
For
this recipe, you will definitely need a food processor. Blender is not going to
churn it. Unless you have a very powerful blender!
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 3-4 frozen sliced bananas
- A spoonful of peanut butter and/or Cookies
- 2-3 tsp. Cocoa powder
Put
the bananas and the ingredients in the food processor, and blend it.
It might look bit of grainy. But keep on going. You will probably have to stop blending
occasionally and push the banana down with a spatula.
Be
patient with it. Initially, it seems like nothing is happening and the banana
is spinning round and round. Have patience, and continue
blending. After a while, of
spinning, the banana at the bottom will start to get very smooth, and rest
follows.
You can add any
type of topping with this Low-Cal Ice Cream:
- Semisweet chocolate chips
- Sliced strawberries
- Diced mango
- Chocolate syrup
- Vanilla wafer cookies
If you want to
keep the calories as low as possible, try flavour boosters. They are virtually
calorie-free:
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Ground cinnamon
- Freshly grated orange or lime zest
