Ice Cream Alternative

One of my favorite vegan recipes is nice cream, a delicious, cheap, sugarfreee alternative to ice cream. It's also very simple to make.

For about a pint and a half I froze four peeled overripe bananas and six sliced strawberries from our kitchen garden, then chopped them up and put them in my food processor with two healthy splashes (about four tablespoons) of coconut milk. You can also use soy milk, regular milk or half-n-half instead of coconut milk. Process on mix or puree until it breaks down and blends into the desired texture. I also stop the processing every couple of minutes to scrape the sides of the bowl.

The result is almost exactly like ice cream, and has a lovely strawberry-banana flavor. You won't be throwing out those overripe bananas anymore, either -- just put them in the freezer until you're ready for another batch. :)
