I’m using the fall superstar to create a dairy-free frozen treat. The perks: You don’t need a special ice cream maker to whip it up.
Yield: 6servings
Prep Time: 5 minutesmins
Total Time: 3 hourshrs5 minutesmins
Ingredients
4ripe bananas
15ouncespumpkin puree (about 1.5 cups)
¼cupmaple syrup
1tablespoonpumpkin pie spice
¼teaspoonground cinnamon
¼teaspoonkosher salt
Toasted and chopped pecans, optional
Instructions
Peel the bananas and freeze for at least 3 hours.
Break the frozen bananas into large pieces and place in the bowl of a food processor or highspeed blender. Add the remaining ingredients and process until completely smooth with no frozen chunks remaining. If the bananas are too hard to blend, add a splash of milk to help them along.
Enjoy immediately as soft-serve ice cream. Or, to firm it up, divide among small serving bowls, cover, and freeze for at least 30 minutes before serving. Let it sit on the counter for a few minutes to soften before digging in. Garnish with chopped toasted pecans, if desired.
Adding 1 tablespoon chopped pecans will add 50 calories to each serving.
