This is so yummy and easy. I used my homemade graham crackers that I used coconut sugar and some coconut oil in place of some of the butter where I wanted it lighter for my stomach. and this dish called for more butter in the crust. I also didn't add any extra cinnamon on top when I made the graham crackers (recipe below).  I usually will put at least a third of coconut oil instead of butter when I'm baking. I think it's lighter on my stomach and ads taste. I used my homemade yogurt made with Wolfgang Puck's bread machine and strained some for about 30 minutes to get a greek yogurt consistency. Hershey's sugar free chocolate chips that gave a bang is what I used. I just used unsweetened cocoa powder that was $1.99 from Walmart. This is so DELICIOUS!


Recipe

New Homemade Banana Ice Cream #loriinthekitchen #bananaicecream #alternativeingredients





 2-3 fresh slice bananas (about 1/2 -3/4” slices)

2 tablespoons honey

1/8-1/4 c. almond milk

2 tablespoons honey

New bananas ice cream: 2-3 sliced fresh bananas, 2 tablespoons of honey 1/8th-1/4 c. almond milk. Push sliced bananas down firmly to pack them in a container but not so much that you can’t stir the honey and almond milk into them. Add the other ingredients in stirring them. The honey will settle but don’t worry about it. Freeze container for 24 hours. Blend or churn in your favorite ice cream maker. I use the smoothie bowl setting on my Ninja Creami.
