Roasted Banana Ice Cream
It so happened that I had 6 ripe bananas on the counter. SIX. Ripe. I'm not really sure how that came to be because we are usually on top of the banana eating. And quite frankly, I don't even remember buying that many at one shopping trip!
Wasn't in the mood for making any carb-ilicous goody and realized we didn't have any ice cream. My kids playmates were over last week and they asked for ice cream and I had none. What a shame, it's summer and there is not a lick of the sweet frozen goodness around. I needed to fix that.
And I sure did.
I've been on an ice cream making kick around here. This is what happens when I eat healthily for a while, the body starts to crave the not-so-healthy stuff. I've never had banana ice cream before. I don't even remember stumbling upon it when I spent my years at working at Baskin Robbins.
I loved the roasting banana part of this recipe. My house smelled SO good. I wanted to eat the roasted bananas right out of the baking dish but alas, I stopped myself. The ice cream has a nice roasted banana taste and it's not too sweet. It is a bit hard to scoop into a ball, not so creamy, but it's a wonderful complement with summer fruits in a bowl.
Nice to have another recipe to use up those ripe bananas!
