It's August, we're supposed to be having great weather.
The kids are off and on the constant hunt for treats.
Bake Off is BACK and our screens will be filled with carb-heavy deliciousness!
Well, there's so many reasons to give in temptation at the moment, so how about I give you a guilt-free alternative?
Ta Da! I present my special "Ice Cream" recipe.
It's dead easy to make, contains no added sugar, only has three ingredients and no artificial preservatives.
Ditch the e-numbers and the expensive Ben and Jerry's. Try this instead:
Serves 4-6
Ingredients:
3 bananas
half a punnet strawberries (or other sweet berries to suit yourself), roughly equal weight to the bananas, wash and remove stalks etc
Double cream
Method
- peel the bananas and roughly chop. Put the pieces into a freezer bag and leave overnight or until frozen solid
- Remove the frozen bananas from the freezer and immediately put them into a food processor
- Add the strawberries and blitz. Add a good dollop of the cream and blitz again.
- Check the consistency and if too firm, add a little more cream to adjust. Blitz a little more to slightly whip the mixture but stop before it starts to melt too much as it will go runny.
- Serve immediately
That's it! I know it sounds bonkers but it only takes moments to make, tastes absolutely fabulous and gives a great dessert. Remember that, per portion this is around half a banana, a handful of berries and a small amount of cream, so minimal carbs, some good fats and a whole host of trace elements with very little calorific value.
It's also relatively cheap compared to premium ice-creams and is great for kids.
Why not keep some frozen bananas on stand-by to create a dessert in moments when the need arises.
