Recipe: Banana Ice Cream Parfait 

This is my go to dessert lately it is so simple and sweet! The best part about it is that I can have as much as I want because it is all fruit with a small amount of nuts. I have made this for my family and friends who all have loved it and it is an exceptionally big hit with children. The banana ice cream is pretty amazing who would of thought it would taste so sweet and creamy. Just having the banana ice cream would satisfy my taste buds, but I like to spice it up every now and then.  Also a side note on the bananas make sure you are freezing RIPE bananas this will make all the difference. Bananas are becoming ripe when they have small brown dots on them. Ripe fruit will make a big difference in taste and nutritional value.

Ingredients:

Frozen Bananas

Blueberries

Chopped Strawberries 

Chopped Pecans

Depending on how many of these parfaits you will be serving will determine the amount of ingredients that you will need. You can prepare the banana ice cream two different ways. You can place the frozen bananas through a masticating juicer such as the omega juicer as seen in the YouTube video which will come out just like soft serve ice cream. The alternative method to making the banana ice cream would be to blend up the frozen bananas in a food processor. When making the ice cream in the food processor let your frozen bananas thaw approximately 10 minutes or so before blending. Once you have made your banana ice cream you will then assemble the parfait with ice cream, blueberries, and strawberries. Once you have filled up your glass top with pecans and indulged!

Enjoy!
