Peanut butter banana vegan "ice cream"
10/28 '14
This is a tasty variation on something I've been pouring in the ice cream freezer for a long time. I should have tried the banana sooner.
1 frozen banana (or fresh; just takes longer)
1 generous dollop peanut butter
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 generous shake 5-spice powder
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Mix the ingredients and pour into your beloved ice cream maker. Y'know, the compact kind with the insert you keep in the freezer until it's ready.
Serves one. But by that I mean it serves the amount you're really gonna eat. Like, about two cups.

I should NOT be reading about ice cream makers when I'm trying to reduce, not increase, the diameter of my hips,thighs and waist. But Tom, oh, I'd trade your 5-spice powder and raise you a dollop of Nutella and transport, instantly, to Sharon's Land of Nom. {licks lips}
YUM. I've never owned an ice cream maker, but perhaps I should look into it.
Do you have a recommendation for an ice cream maker?
This year's birthday prezzie for me is going to be a Cuisinart ICE-100 which is kind of a beast but we've worn out three freezer inserts and TBH I'm kind of sick of the sloppy goo that was the typical best result. So this year, THIS YEAR, I'm getting an ice cream maker with a twin turbo tacked on it, I'll plug it in and a high pitched whine will fill the air, the machine will vibrate and hum, the dishes will bounce and rattle, everything in the room will sparkle and then, as coruscating beams of light bathe the walls and shoot out all of my windows, the deafening sound of a philharmonic choir in full breath will emit a triumphant final AMEN, and... wait, where was I going with this?
That was stellar.
The land of NOM?
