Since we have a corn allergy in the house, we cannot eat store bought ice cream or popsicles. So I've been experimenting a little. This is my first successful homemade ice cream. L loved it.
Ingredients:
1 sliced and frozen banana
1 handful frozen strawberries
2 Tbsp coconut milk (you could use any milk here but this makes it dairy/nut-free)
1 tsp corn-free vanilla extract (I'm still working on corn-free substitutions here; It can be left out)
Blend all ingredients until smooth. Serve. This only makes about 1 serving but was plenty for me and L to share.
I always have frozen strawberries on hand because they are easy to buy that way. I didn't have a frozen banana so the ice cream wasn't quite frozen when it came out of the blender. I poured it in a bowl and put it in the freezer and by the time dinner was done, it was close to normal ice cream texture. If you have a frozen banana though, it should come out of the blender like ice cream.
Note: For those of you with a real sweet tooth who need sugar on your fruit, you may need to add a tiny bit of sugar to this. I liked it as is but fruit is plenty sweet to me. But remember, more sugar = less healthy.
