For healthier ice cream
Substitute: Frozen bananas for ice cream.
Why: Just two ingredients—frozen bananas and cocoa powder—but ‘it gets just as thick and rich as chocolate ice cream in a good food processor,’ Alexander says.
Peel and freeze two bananas, then cut into 1-inch pieces and blend in a food processor with 2-3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder for a few minutes until smooth. Serve immediately. Fuhrman’s ‘nice cream’ blends frozen fruit with nuts for creaminess, and either vanilla extract or cocoa powder.
