On another note, I've been tweaking my diet a bit. Trying to eat less gluten, dairy, sugar etc. Last night a friend and I were talking about ice cream and my favorite is Ben and Jerry's....pretty much any flavor will work, some I'm more fond of than others, one of those in Chunky Monkey. I had some bananas that I'd frozen for smoothies, but no one has used them, so I thought I'd make ice cream out of them. This is what I came up with. (This is dairy and gluten free so it's Paleo friendly and Vegan) Let me know what you think. A Votre Sante!
4 large frozen bananas
6 Tbsp unsweetened coconut milk (I got mine at Trader Joe's)
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup walnuts chopped (I left some whole)
1-2 oz dark chocolate (I used 72%)
pinch of salt
The only thing you need for this is a food processor. You may have to do small batches depending on the size of your food processor. Put the frozen bananas in, add the coconut milk one tablespoon at a time, add the vanilla. (You could also use bananas that aren't frozen and then freeze the mixture later). Once you have a creamy mixture spoon into a freezer proof bowl. Add the walnuts, salt and dark chocolate, cover with plastic wrap and freeze until the texture resembles ice cream. Enjoy!
