This delicious Soft Serve Banana Ice Cream and Strawberry Sauce from Scratch is the perfect easy, healthy, sweet treat.   

I am so in love with this.  I cannot believe A. how easy it is and B. how delicious and healthy it is.  So my old middle school BFF, Stephanie @ The Cozy Cook who I reconnected with over some Poutine, posted this Soft Serve Banana this weekend and the minute I saw it, I had to try it.  Have you checked out her blog yet? You should, because it is amazing. Not only is she and her little pup Toby so stinkin’ cute, but her food and photography is killer!

Anyway seriously, once I saw this I cut up some bananas and threw them in the freezer.  Because well, we always have bananas in this house.  Then I decided to make a really simple and delicious strawberry sauce to top it with. Because what’s more delicious than bananas and strawberries? Not much.  Not much at all.

Plus, look at these beautiful strawberries.

I just tossed them into a small pot and let them simmer away on medium-low with a little bit of fresh squeezed lemon juice and just a touch of honey.  I don’t think adding more sugar to fruit anything is necessary at all.  I let these cook down until nice and soft then I mashed them up until it was as sauce-like as I wanted.

Then I just added the frozen sliced bananas to a food processor and blended them while slowly adding just a little bit of milk as it blended to give it a little added creaminess.  And whoa.  It’s like ice cream without an ice cream maker!

Then to top it off I added just a little of the strawberry sauce…

…and a little more…

…Ok, I added a lot.

 I was soooo impressed by how much this satisfied an ice cream craving.  We’ll now be keeping this in our fridge for when either of us need a little fix- this is an incredibly healthier and equally delicious alternative!  Thanks, Stephanie!!
