Maple Walnut Nice Cream (Made in the Food Processor)
Ingredients
- 3 medium bananas (about 300 grams)
- ¼ cup walnuts
- ¼ cup maple syrup* more or less, depending on preference
- 2 tsp maple extract (add for a bolder maple flavor, but completely optional!)
Instructions
- Peel and slice the bananas to 1 inch slices
- Spread the banana slices on a parchment paper or inside a 1 gallon ziploc bag and freeze overnight (or until frozen solid)
- Soak the walnuts in water overnight (or at least for 4 hours) room temperature. Rinse and drain water before using.
- In a food processor or high-powered blender* blend frozen banana slices, walnuts, maple syrup and maple extract together until smooth
- Serve immediately as a soft serve, or pour into a glass (pyrex) or metal loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap or lid and freeze**
- For best icecream consistency, take container out of the freezer and let sit out at room temperature for 10 mins. If it's in a microwaveable container, you can also microwave it for 15 seconds until softened.

Notes
*While a food processor will give you the best results, you can also use a high-powered blender (such as Vitamix) that comes with a tamper. Use the tamper to push the ingredients into the blades of the blender to ensure the best consistency.
