Dairy-Free Homemade Ice Cream Sundaes #GayLeaMom

One of the best parts of summer is the sweet treats – popsicles, freezies, and of course, ice cream! But those delicious treats are often unhealthy, and shouldn’t be eaten on a regular basis.  That’s why my family loves our dairy-free, homemade, healthy “ice cream.” One simple ingredient – frozen bananas!! Because it is so simple and healthy, you can feel free to pile on the toppings (the best part, right?!!) and not feel guilty!

 Some of the toppings we enjoy are chocolate syrup, sprinkles, candy bits, and of course, Gay Lea Whipped Cream.  I love that they have the option to go dairy-free with their Coconut whipped cream. It tastes delicious, and adds another level of flexibility in your dishes for guests with food restrictions, making these “Ice Cream” sundaes completely dairy-free! Gay Lea’s Real Coconut Whipped Cream is made with real REAL coconut cream, and is non-dairy, lactose- and gluten-free! 

Ice Cream Instructions:

1. Take about 4 very ripe bananas and chop into small pieces. Arrange on a plate or tray and freeze for a 3-4 hours.

2. Put the bananas into a food processor and pulse and blend until the bananas turn into a wonderfully smooth, creamy soft-serve-type mixture. If you’d like to add some peanut butter, cocoa powder, or some vanilla flavouring, this is the time to do it.

 That’s it! That’s all there is to the recipe! If you like the soft-serve texture, serve immediately. If you prefer a firmer, more traditional ice cream texture, freeze for an hour or so.

I live in Bowmanville, and am a mom to four young boys - it can get a little loud in my house. I am a Christian, a part-time French teacher, a piano teacher and former homeschooler. I love finding the best deals, which will come in handy when our boys become hungry teenagers! We just moved to a house with more outdoor space, and I'm still getting used to life in the country (a walk around the block is a lot longer here!).
