An important part to our special Christmas recipe, which will be revealed in its entirety this Foodie Friday, is this amazing and delicious recipe…
Banana ice cream
Basically, this recipe is: FROZEN BANANAS! All that needs to be done, is slice up a banana for each serve, and freeze. When ready to serve, simply blend the slices in a powerful food processor.
It is delicious in this simple form, but of course, you can add healthy extras for different flavours. Here are some of my favourite combinations:
