I have a serious sweet tooth and it can get me into trouble sometimes, especially since I became lactose intolerant a couple years ago. I’m always looking for healthy ways to satisfy my cravings and this recipe is a winner. It’s creamy, gooey, crunchy and almost vegan!
Remember that Tart! Bakery granola from last month? It was so addictive I wanted to use it in a recipe (by the way, Shawn makes it with honey, so that’s why this sundae is almost vegan).
I was doubtful when I first saw this one ingredient banana ice cream, but it really works! All you have to do is freeze banana slices and toss them in a food processor. After going back in the freezer, the ice cream was so creamy and sweet, I had to keep reminding myself not to feel guilty.
It took three tries to get the chocolate sauce right, but the last attempt was so chocolatey and gooey I ended up eating it by the spoonful.
This sundae is pretty healthy, but still so ooey, gooey and delicious.
Banana Ice Cream
2 bananas, sliced and frozen
Put frozen banana slices in a food processor. Mix for several minutes until smooth, scraping the sides periodically. Pour into a container and freeze until solid.
Vegan Chocolate Sauce
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1-2 tablespoons agave
1-2 tablespoons almond milk
Heat ingredients and mix well.
And now to assemble…
