Add maple syrup if you choose too (only a few drops).<br /><br />4) cook for 30 mins in a gas mark four oven.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=cookability&ditemid=4781" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2010-05-11:512445:1380 rydra_wong 2010-06-29T17:22:13Z 2010-07-17T10:44:21Z public 16 Posted by: <span lj:user='rydra_wong' style='white-space: nowrap;' class='ljuser'><a href='https://rydra-wong.dreamwidth.org/profile'><img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='https://rydra-wong.dreamwidth.org/'><b>rydra_wong</b></a></span><br /><br />Con: requires use of a food-processor or blender, which can be hard for those of us with noise sensitivity.<br /><br />Pro: minimal prep, lasts indefinitely in the freezer, takes only a few minutes to make, no cooking required, compatible with a very wide range of special dietary requirements, is mysterious food alchemy.<br /><br />Taken from <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/1-ingredient-Ice-Cream/">Instructables: 1-Ingredient Ice Cream</a>:<br /><br />Take a banana or bananas, peel, chop into chunks, then put in a bag in the freezer.<br /><br />When desired, take out your frozen banana chunks, put them in a food processor, and blend them.<br /><br />The result is amazingly creamy in texture, and way sweeter than regular banana, for reasons I cannot fathom. <br /><br />I don't eat a lot of sugar, and I actually find the result <em>too</em> sweet; I'm going to be experimenting with blending in extra ingredients, including other fruits or cocoa powder.<br /><br />ETA: If you need/want to take a supplement that's in powder form, blending it in seems to work very well (I tried this with a scoop of whey protein).<br /><br />ETA2: If you are okay with dairy, blending in some Greek yoghurt is amazingly delicious.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=cookability&ditemid=1380" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
