I love a good soft serve ice cream. Frozen custard is actually my ultimate favorite, but being quite the decadent treat, I only splurge on it once in a while.
This month's recipe redux is my answer to high calorie frozen treats.
Soft serve "ice cream" that is not only just as creamy, luscious, and sweet as the best custard, but with no added sugar or fat and just a fraction of the calories.
Sound too good to be true? It's not. To sweeten the deal even more, it only takes about a minute to prepare.
Meet the Banana Soft Serve.
Ingredients: frozen bananas. That's all, folks. Just freeze up some perfectly ripe bananas, throw them in your blender and moments later....soft serve to rival custard. Sprinkle on your favorite topping (mine is chocolate sprinkles) and enjoy.

Looks delicious Danielle! I've been seeing lots of banana soft serve lately so I've really got to try this . Have a wonderful Sunday-hope you get some time to relax!
ReplyDeleteAmazing that all you did was blend up frozen bananas and this is what you got! Wonder if that would work with other fruit (I'm not a banana eater!).
ReplyDeleteLove it. So easy! I'm with you on the chocolate shavings for the topping.
ReplyDeleteI just love this... it never amazes me that it works and tastes great!
