Recipe: Paleo/Vegan/Gluten-free Banana Ice Cream Treat

Only a few more days to enter the Yonanas Classic contest.  Full Contest Details here and make sure you enter before Thursday, July 9th at midnight.

Here are the amazing little banana ice cream treats that I made for my daughter's 4th birthday party - the recipe is below.

Paleo/Vegan/Gluten-free Banana Ice Cream Treat 

Step 1:  Make your crust and let it cool. You can use any regular pie crust recipe, but you probably only need 1/4 of it.  I used a 6" square pan and the following recipe:

• 3/4 cup ground pumpkin seeds (or almonds)
• 1 tbsp arrowroot powder
• 2 tbsp molasses
• 1 tbsp avocado (or coconut) oil
• 1/4 tsp sea salt 

Mix together and press in pan lined with parchment paper.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes (or until slightly browned).

Step 2: Follow the instructions in the Yonanas maker and make 3 flavors.  I only ended up using about 4 frozen bananas. I started with the lightest color - pineapple, then raspberry, then blueberry - so the color wouldn't bleed too much.

With your cooled crust, spread your first flavor on and/ put in the freezer for a few minutes.

Step 3:  Remove from freezer and spread the next flavor.  Then re-freeze for a few minutes.  Repeat with final flavor.

Step 4:  Slice it up and place on small cupcake holders.  You can store them in freezer until they are ready to be served.
