banana ice cream recipe. Of course it is full of potassium, and since bananas are so sweet on their own, most people don't need to add any sugar, plus you don't need heavy cream -- you can even use lowfat milk -- so it's healthy and great even if you are trying to watch your figure.This banana ice cream is particularly delicious with a chocolate sauce, and would go so well with the brownie recipe submitted last week by Martha at The Daily Grind.
For those of you who might not already know, or as a reminder, the second annual ice cream roundup is this Friday at Joy of Desserts. You are all invited to participate. There were lots of great recipes last year, so don't miss out. (Stop by Joy Of Desserts to enter my latest giveaway, too!)
Banana Ice Cream Recipe
2 large, ripe bananas
juice of 1 lemon
2 cups thin cream or milk
sugar to taste
a few drops banana extract (optional)
Peel bananas and mash them, combining the juice of 1 lemon. Add sugar, if desired. Add cream or milk and blend thoroughly. You can use a fork, or blender/processor for increased smoothness. Freeze according to your ice cream maker manufacturer's directions.
Enjoy! See you next Wednesday for another Save Room for Dessert.

Yummy! :-)
That sounds really good.
Thanks so much for posting this! I have a bunch of ripe bananas and needed a tasty way to use them up besides the same old banana bread.
Hmmm I wonder how it would work out if skim milk was used and Splenda as the sweetener. I much suspect that my smoothie recipe would work wonders as a low fat icecream..

Thank you, all, for participating and commenting.
Lady Styx: You are absolutely right. This recipe can indeed work as a diet recipe, just as I pointed out in the introduction, by using low-fat milk and no added sugar since bananas are so sweet to begin with. Of course, you can use your favorite diet sweetener too, to taste, or any natural sugar-alternative such as stevia or agave.
