My son and I have seen the 'helado' commercial on Disney Channel. It's super cute as little man likes to practice speaking Spanish. I told he we would make our banana ice cream just like on TV.
I froze two bananas, one going brown and the other bright yellow. I thought it would be a good mix of sweet and a bit more texture to hold up to the very soft brown banana.
I have a few different tools I could have used. I do have a blender, small food processor (what I choose to use), a large food processor, and a bullet. All would have been just fine to use. I just wanted to use something small and easy to clean. (Dishwasher :) )
I let the kids push the button after we got the pieces in the blender. Much easier if you have them cut into 2 or 3 inch pieces.
After about three minutes, you will start to see it get smooth but there will be larger pieces. It will take close to five minutes to make it a very smooth texture.
Have fun with the toppings. Add nuts, peanut butter, smashed graham crackers, raisins, or anything that your kids would love - chocolate chips, the ideas just keep coming!
I personally added some of the chocolate peanut butter fluff. If you haven't tried it, IT IS A MUST!!!
This was delicious and it was just like ice cream!!! It was so much fun and how much healthier could one get?!?!?!
