Velvety Banana Cream Frozen Yogurt
The Greek Yogurt makes all the difference in this recipe! You don’t even need an ice cream maker, in order to make this recipe, you just need your appetite!
Ingredients:
- 2 large bananas
- 1/2 c. plain Greek yogurt, full fat
- 6 oz. cream cheese, cut into chunks
- 3/4 T. real vanilla extract
- 1/4 c. organic honey
Optional Toppings:
- Fresh banana slices
- Shredded coconut
- Chocolate sauce
- Crushed graham crackers
- Crushed nuts
Tip: Regular vanilla extract will affect the color of this dish. To prevent this, choose a clear vanilla extract instead. However, be sure to read labels carefully because most clear extracts are imitation.
Instructions:
- Peel and cut bananas into thin slices. Place banana slices in a plastic freezer safe bag and place in the freezer until frozen.
- Add yogurt, cream cheese, vanilla extract & frozen banana slices to powerful blender or food processor. Then blend until completely smooth. (If necessary, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water to the blender to loosen the mixture).
- While blending, drizzle in honey until thoroughly combined with other ingredients. Once blended, taste mixture & add more honey (if desired).
- Transfer contents of blender to a freezer safe dish & cover tightly. Place in freezer for a minimum of 4 hours. However, it’s best to freeze it overnight.
- To serve, remove from freezer & let sit on counter for 5 to 10 minutes to soften. Scoop into individual chilled serving dishes & garnish with slices of fresh banana or other favorite toppings.
