Instead of making a banana shake out of the very ripe fruit sitting in the bowl on our counter, I thought it might be fun to turn them into some creamy, smooth ice cream. My children love to watch the mixture go around, freezing into one of their favorite treats. Enjoy....Banana Ice Cream with Toasted Hazelnuts
3 very ripe bananas
1/4 cup honey
3/4 cup lowfat milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
pinch nutmeg
1/4 cup toasted hazelnuts, chopped
Place all ingredients (except the hazelnuts) in a blender. Puree until smooth. Freeze in an ice cream freezer according to manufacturur's instructions. Once soft-frozen, transfer to a container and freeze until solid in the freezer. Or, just eat it as a soft serve ice cream. Sprinkle with hazelnuts, and if desired, a drizzle of hot fudge or chocolate syrup.
