I was feeling in the mood for some ice cream so we made this recipe.
Chocolate Ice Cream
1/3 c fat free greek yogurt (we used an entire 6 ounce container because I didn't want a partial yogurt floating around in the fridge)
2 TBSP honey
2 tsp vanilla
bbbbb njdjdfgfcg gggggggg g (this was Alex's addition to the recipe)
1 TBSP cocoa powder
2 c sliced banana (frozen)
1/4 c sliced strawberry (frozen)
Blend the first 4 ingredients. Add the fruit and blend until smooth and creamy. Serve!
Yesterday I sat down with the kids while they were having a snack and cut up some bananas and strawberries. I had to cut up an extra banana and quite a few strawberries because the slices kept getting eaten. I put those in the freezer over night and then today we made the ice cream. My numbers were very approximate. I'm pretty sure we had more than 2 cups of bananas and 1/4 cup of strawberries.
Today when Alex woke up from nap, we got out the food processor (I used that instead of the blender because our blender is wussy).
The kids were great helpers at pushing the button on the food processor.
We had to open the lid a few times to test the final product.
This took less than 15 minutes to make and that was with 2 little helpers.
We all liked it. Patrick pointed out that it was a little bit tangy from the amount of yogurt we put in it. If you used flavored yogurt, it would probably be fine or if you used the amount that the recipe suggests.
If you zoom in, Alex's head does NOT have a scratch on it. It's ice cream.
It's a really good consistency for Alex to practice feeding himself. It just gets a little messy, he got a bath after he was done eating. I want to try making this again using other fruits. I think the banana is critical for the consistency but you could easily sub in some mango and leave out the cocoa powder. Adding just a few mini chocolate chips would also be quite tasty.
