Notes
Frozen Bananas. You'll want to use slightly spotted bananas for this recipe since this is where the sweetness will come from. If they are not spotty, the "nice" cream might be too tart from the raspberries. In addition, since the size of bananas varies, you will want to measure the frozen banana pieces to make sure you have at least (3) cups.There are two different ways to prep your bananas:
Freeze the night before - if you know you want to make this recipe the next day, or have some bananas that are starting to go bad, break them into 1-2 inch pieces and freeze them the night before.
Prep after grocery shopping - This is my preferred method when buying bananas in bulk by the case and it works great! Once the bananas are "spotty", peel all the bananas, break them into 1-2 inch pieces, bag them up, and put them in the freezer. This allows us to use them at a moment's notice.
Raspberries. I used frozen organic raspberries which adds to the thickness of the recipe giving it a soft-serve ice cream texture. Save about (1) tablespoon to garnish the top!Water. You want to add just enough water/milk to help process it, but not too much because it will have the texture of a drinkable smoothie. I exclusively use filtered/purified water from my Berkey water filter for all my recipes to avoid contaminants in tap water, however, you can use regular water. In addition, you can also use 100% organic almond milk instead of water, in the same amount. Serving Size: This recipe will make approximately (4) cups of "nice" cream. Nutritional information is for (1) cup which is (1) serving.
