Are you on the lookout for a delightful and unique ice cream alternative that’s both nutritious and delicious? Look no further! Our Honey Banana Cauliflower Ice Cream is a game-changer in the world of desserts. It combines the creamy sweetness of bananas with a subtle veggie twist from cauliflower, all sweetened naturally with honey. This recipe is perfect for anyone seeking a healthier, guilt-free treat that doesn’t compromise on flavor.
Ingredients
- 3 medium bananas (about 300 grams)
- 1 scant cup cauliflower rice, frozen
- 3-6 tbsp honey, depending on your sweetness preference
Directions
- Preparation: Begin by peeling the bananas. Cut them into 1-inch slices for easier blending later on.
- Freezing: Arrange the banana slices on a tray lined with parchment paper or place them in a 1-gallon Ziploc bag. Freeze them overnight, or until they are frozen solid.
- Blending: In a food processor or a high-powered blender, combine the frozen banana slices with the frozen cauliflower rice. Drizzle in the honey. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This might take a few minutes, so be patient—it’s worth the wait!
- Freezing for Consistency: For a soft serve texture, serve the ice cream immediately after blending. Alternatively, for a firmer consistency, transfer the mixture to a glass (Pyrex) or metal loaf pan. Cover it with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for at least 2 hours.
- Serving: Before scooping, remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly. If you’re in a hurry, you can microwave the container for about 15 seconds to achieve the perfect scoopable texture.
