Things have gone pretty well this week (except for a mishap with non-pastured bacon). But, by Saturday night I was pretty ready for a treat. I was really tempted to break out the AIP-friendly coconut, but knew my gut wouldn't be happy tomorrow morning (it doesn't know that coconut is supposed to be ok for me). So I added tigernut and waterchestnut flours to my Amazon bag to be purchased tbd and decided to try banana ice cream. I started simple:
2 bananas
1 tsp cinnamon
When blended it tasted delicious. I wanted to be a little more adventurous and, since I probably wouldn't have time for treats for awhile, I tried the following:
3 Bananas (brown)
1 T Cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1.5 tsp orange infused raw honey
1. Blend ingredients until smooth (unless you like banana chunks in your ice cream!).
2. Place in ice cream maker for 10 minutes.
***This is REALLY spiced.***
I had some techinical issues with the ice cream maker because the batch wasn't big enough to freeze well and it was really thick. So, I added the juice from half an orange and tried again. But, some of the "ice cream" had already frozen to the bottom and sides and prevented the interior arm from moving freely. So, until I can find a version that isn't so thick I will just stick it right in the freezer after blending. A machine-worthy version will have to be my next test.
Happy (almost) Sunday!
