Method

  1. Pop the banana chunks on a flat tray and cover well. Freeze for at least 1 hr, or until frozen through. When ready to eat throw the banana into a food processor and whizz until smooth with enough of the milk to achieve a creamy texture. Scoop into 4 bowls or glasses, then top with the sauce and nuts.

    How easy is this and how healthy! It's so creamy you think you're indulging in a naughty treat, but unless you have drowned your portion in chocolate, nuts or syrup its a much more palatable way to enjoy a ripe banana!

    Brilliant, especially for weight watchers! Very very yummy but it was sooooo filling, suppose thats no bad thing when you're on a diet though. Would probably make less next time though.

    Delicious! Just don't freeze the banana for too long, though, or you might need a new food processor!

    Great recipe, I used low fat creme fraiche instead of milk, just to make it a little naughtier but still low fat. I also toasted some pecans left over from christmas and topped it with cinnamon and amaple syrup - yum!

    Fantastic after school treat for children, so easy to make and totally delicious! We added a touch of honey to the banana and milk but did not need the sauce, nuts etc. I agree with the other contributors that this is a brilliant way of using up left over bananas.
