Banana "Ice Cream" and Brownies

      So today what we have here are Banana "Ice Cream" and Brownies. Why is the word "Ice Cream" in open and closed inverted commas? You will find out shortly. Now, I don't have the exact written recipe for this Banana treat, but it's so simple you don't even need one. My dad found this recipe on Huffington Post but couldn't remember the link. So:

Candy is my fuel. Ice cream, too.

Banana 'Ice Cream'

Ingredients

Honey

3 or 4 Bananas

Peel and cut bananas into chunks.

 Place in the freezer until it hardens.

Once hardened, sort of like ice cubes,

blend it until it forms a creamy substance

stopping once in a while to mix it a little.
If it gets stuck add in a little water.
So once it looks ice-creamy, put it into a bowl
and serve while cold with a drizzle of honey.

      This is a great way to trick stubborn kids into thinking what they're eating is ice cream, when it's actually pure FRUIT. My dad reckons apples and papayas work too. I tried this with papaya and I swear it tastes like sorbet. So go try it you fruit lovers!

Forget love - I'd rather fall in chocolate!

      I'd like to say something. I know nowadays my blog posts aren't often, and the recipes aren't as interesting as they were before. But it'd be really nice if you keep reading, commenting and help spread the word. Following this blog via email would also be REALLY awesome. Thanks to glittergirl for commenting on my post, Confectionately Yours, Save the Cupcake!: French-toast Cupcakes. It's nice to know people are actually reading.  : D
