SOFT-SERVE SUNDAE

Found on: Here.


INGREDIENTS:

for the ice cream:

• 3 bananas
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened, unsalted peanut butter
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (more if you’re like me and you like your sweets salty!

for the chocolate caramel sauce:

• 4 tablespoons of brown rice syrup
• 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder (i used this brand)
• chopped peanuts for garnish (and they don’t just make it look pretty, they add a nice and necessary crunch!)

– slice bananas as you would for cereal and freeze overnight in a sealed container (ziplock or i prefer glass tupperware)

– pull the bananas out of the freezer and defrost for a few minutes.

– while the bananas are defrosting heat put the brown rice syrup and cocoa powder in top of double boiler (if you don’t have one here is an alternative using what you most likely already have!) heat on low while you’re blending the ice cream, checking on it to stir and make sure there’s not burning.

– in a good processor or high powered blender like a vitamix combine the bananas and peanut butter on low speed to avoid burning out the engine on your food processor or blender, take breaks and stir with a spoon! when mostly mixed, add salt a little at a time and adjust to your taste (i prefer SALTY!)

– scoop ice cream into a small bowl, pour melted chocolate caramel sauce over top and sprinkle with chopped peanuts

*this recipe makes enough for two servings, plus a few extra bites of the ice cream for your pup
