Friends, listen up because this is serious business.  My dear friend @Rawliving (<– Twitter name or her website can be found here) let me in on a BIG secret.  Banana ice cream made from….just bananas!!

My mother always freezes her bananas when they get really ripe because she makes banana bread out of them.  Like her, I do that but I also use my frozen bananas for smoothies. Now I can add ice cream to that list of reasons as to why there are bananas in my freezer (everyone ALWAYS asks).

In the bowl of a food processor, put 1 frozen ripe banana (per serving) and the smallest tiniest dash of vanilla extract or almond extract (I like almond extract).  Process for 4-5 minutes until the banana ice cream is completely smooth.  That’s it…that’s all you do.

All of my raw foodies can make a chocolate syrup to put on top out of agave nectar and raw cacao powder (just whip the two ingredients together).

Tomorrow is my father’s birthday and I plan on making this for him for dessert. Being a diabetic, he doesn’t eat sweets so this is the perfect ice cream dessert for him. I can’t wait for him to tell me how good it is!
