Pinbusters – Banana Soft Serve “Ice Cream”

Have you ever wondered if the stuff people post on Pinterest is true? Well I have, and I test them all so that you don’t have to, ’cause ain’t nobody got time for that.  Click here to check out all of the pins I haven taken on. You might be surprised by some of the results!

I love culinary pinbusting!  The original pin (click for link) says you can freeze bananas (‘nanners in this house) and blend them into a quasi ice cream with the consistency of soft serve. Seems like a pretty bold claim, right?

Step One:  Freeze your nanners. Helpful hint:  Peel them first, or you will freeze your paws off trying to open them.

Step Two:  Put in blender. Blend.

We were tempted at this point to add some liquid (almond milk?) since it was very thick. Having faith in our Ninja, though, we forged on, and soon had this:

Consistency? Check!

Flavor? Banana Soft Serve

Whaaaaaaatttttttt ….. oh yeah. That is pretty darn tasty. Pin confirmed.

But why stop there? How could we make it MORE delicious?

Banana Soft Serve Nutella

Obviously. Two heaping scoops of Nutella, a splash of almond milk, and voila!

This was a seriously delightful treat. The bananas alone are delicious, and I will give them credit for that. However, the addition of the Nutella took this treat to a whole new realm. Less healthy? Sure. Live a little.

I’m making another batch right now.
