BanaCayman Ice Cream

BanaCayman Ice Cream


I LOVE Ice Cream and since I choose not to have dairy I decided to make my own ;)
Not just any kind though, BANANA !!!


The banana's I found at Foster's, a supermarket in the Cayman Islands, were perfect and super ripe!
What better way to make use of a perfect banana than with ice cream!?

What you will need:
*Vitamix Blender*
*3 Ripe Bananas*
*A little bit of water*



How to prepare:
Cut up the 3 bananas and put them in a bowl and place them in the freezer overnight.
In the morning take them out of the freezer and let them thaw out for 10-15 minutes.
Then put the bananas in the blender. The banana's will be harder to blend since they are frozen and by adding a little bit of water the blades with spin easier and 
the ice cream will get done faster.






Once your banana's are at an ice cream consistency,
spoon the deliciousness into a bowl!

To add texture to your ice cream,
add banana slices or any other kind of fruit/topping you like!


EVEN MY GIRLS LOVED THE ICE CREAM...
if they liked it I KNOW you will :)


WAAALAA
you gotcher self some healthy Ice Cream!

My AHHHH HAA moment :)

Banana / Blueberry Popsicle Pop's




 After I poured my Blueberry / Banana "ice cream sauce" on my Banana split
Recipe below:
Banana Split

I realized I had quite a bit left!!



I THOUGHT ABOUT IT

...............







thinking thinking thinking thinking 
............


making a smoothie, using it for salad dressing, and even using it for dipping sauce!
Then I had an AHHHH HAA moment!

********************
POPSICLES !

********************
My mom bought me a cup cake pop kit and I have been thinking to myself
HOW am I going to use this!?!




With some research I learned I can make "date" cupcake pops so that will be perfect!!
BUT 
my creative juices started flowing and I thought to myself
a popsicle sounds amazing!

And this is what I created :)




THE STEPS TO THESE DELICIOUS BANANA / BLUEBERRY 

POP'S:

1) Pour some of the "ice cream sauce" in the tin and place them into the freezer. 





2) Let them freeze (without the sticks) for about 20-25 minutes..
This should give the sauce enough time to harden a little
to be able to hold the sticks!


3)Place the sticks into the sauce and continue to let the pops harden!
About 20-25 minutes.




4) Once the pops come out, they will be frozen...
Let them sit out for a few minutes, and then if you push on them they should pop out!




*They will start to get a little mushy so I recommend to place them in a cup 
and stick them back into the freezer!*










5) They should be hardened, set, and ready to dig in!




AGAIN, 100% GUILT FREE!
Enjoy :*
