Internet vrvi slikama i receptima za sladoled kojemu je temeljni sastojak banana, a potom mu se dodaju okusi poput kakao praha, smrznutog voća, raznih namaza od kikirikija, lješnjaka itd., pa neću pisati recept nego ću staviti linkove na blogove i portale.


Napravila sam 3 verzije, samo banana, banana uz dodatak kakao praha i banana uz dodatak jagoda. Okusi su mi ispali skroz blagi (drugi put ću staviti više kakao praha, više jagoda i slično).

Fora je u tome da sladoled ne sadrži šećer, mlijeko, jaja, samo bananu. Banana je dovoljno kremasta, masna i slatka kako bi se od nje moglo napraviti ovakvo nešto, a u posljednje vrijeme često je na popisima kao zamjena za maslac.

Recept za sladoled step-by-step možete pronaći ovdje: http://jamiecooksitup.net/2013/01/one-ingredient-frozen-banana-ice-cream/, a prijedlozi za razne okuse su tu: http://www.thekitchn.com/magic-one-ingredient-ice-cream-5-ways-peanut-butter-nutella-and-more-171618).

Da pojasnim, naravno ne može se reći da je identičan sladoledu od mlijeka i jaja, i okorjelim ovisnicima o sladoledu ovo neće biti odgovarajuća ljetna zamjena, ali osobno, meni bi bio sasvim dovoljan. Uz čoko preljev i šaku drobljenih lješnjaka – mmmm.

DISCLAIMER: Budite oprezni s blenderima i štapnim mikserima. Dodajte smrznute banane malo po malo. Ja imam “brutalca” od 750 W + nastavak za drobljenje leda, ali vidim da se blenda i sa slabijim uređajima.



I kad smo kod banana i ljeta , sjetilo me na jedan teen-video, podsjetimo se kak’ su se cure furale osamdesetih: Bananarama: Cruel Summer



Internet is full of recipes for this magic one ingredient ice cream, based on banana only and then flavored with cocoa powder, peanut butter, frozen fruit, hazelnut cream etc. so I’m not going to write a recipe, but I’ll put links to blogs.

I made 3 versions of this ice cream: banana only, strawberry flavored (mixed with frozen strawberries) and chocolate flavored (mixed with cocoa powder). Ice cream came out pretty mild, next time I’ll put more cocoa and more strawberries.

The catch is this ice cream doesn’t contain milk, eggs and sugar. Banana is creamy, buttery and sweet enough and that makes it possible to make ice creamy dessert.

Of course, this ice cream is not identical to the ones you make with milk and eggs, but is definitely healthier and lighter version. Why not give it a try one hot summer day?



DISCLAIMER: be careful with blending. My stick blender is powerful: 750 W, and has an extension for ice blending. Add frozen bananas carefully and bit by bit so you don’t damage the blender.

And speaking of bananas, and summer, it reminded me of an old video that I adored as a kid: Bananarama: Cruel Summer
