A recipe found in Prevention Magazine for a healthy dessert. "The natural creaminess of Bananas makes it the prefect fruit to whirl into a smooth and sensuous ice cream that is vitually fat free. Spoon on the silky chocolate sauce and go bananas."

Time 5h30m

Yield 4-6 sundaes, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large ripe bananas, sliced
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups 1% low-fat milk
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
sliced banana

Steps:

  • Make ice cream: combine bananas, sugar, and 1/2 cup milk in a food processor or blender. Puree until smooth. Add the cinnamon, vanilla, and the remaining cup of milk. Puree until smooth and transfer into a 8X8 metal or plastic container. Cover and freeze for 4 hours or overnight.
  • Remove from the freezer and break up the mixture with a knife. Working with half of the mixture at a time, process briefly in a food processor or blender. The mixture will transform from icy to smooth. Return it to the freezer in the 8X8 container, cover and freeze for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • Make chocolate sauce: Combine the water, sugar, cocoa, and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Stir with a wire whisk until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon until smooth and thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in the butter and vanilla.
  • Serve in small cups with a small scoop of ice cream and sliced bananas. Drizzle with chocolate sauce.

Another recipe I found in: "Brain Foods For Kids: Over 100 Recipes To Boost Your Child's Intelligence." I got it as a send-in freebie from Kashi. The protein in this will keep your hunger in check for awhile, and who doesn't love peanut butter and bananas!
