Sexy Fat-Free Raspberry Ice-Cream

Healthy fat free raspberry ice-cream, made just from fuit? YES!

Who doesn't like sinking their spoon into a delicious bowlful of silky ice-cream? Sadly almost all ice-cream is either an expensive combination of high-fat, high-cholesterol foods like eggs, milk and cream or it is a throat-cloyingly insipid blend of cheap vegetables oils, emulsifiers and flavourings. Both types come loaded with lashings of sugar. Cheap ice-cream is sold by volume not weight (look on the tub, it will say millilitres or litres) which means manufacturers can whip loads of air into it to bulk it up making it seem like more. Plain air was never so sweet or profitable!.

Luckily there is a 3rd option, of the facelift kind. An ice-cream so healthy and oure that you could eat it 3 times a day and it counts as a healthy snack and several of your '5 a day'. Plus it only takes about 15 minutes to make fromscratch! Sound to good to be true? Why not try it for yourself, here's the recipe:

You need:
2-3 bananas (per person)
100g of raspberries (for person)
ie for 4 people you will need 8-12 banans and 400g of raspberries

You will also need access to a freezer and a food processor or high-speed blender

To make:
Freeze the raspberries and slice up the bananas and place in a tub in the freezer for 8 hours or overnight (top tip: always keep some frozen banana slices in the fridge so you can have ice-cream for whenever the mood strikes). When you are ready to make the ice-cream, simply add your frozen banana slices (you may have to prise them apart a bit) and frozen raspberries to you food processor and pulse until a crumb-like consistency. Rest for 5-10 minutes and pulse again. Keep doing this until the mixture suddenly turns into pink 'mr whippy' ice-cream. You may need to periodically push the mixture back down the walls of the processor as it has a habit of trying to escape.

Serve immediately.

This is just a basic ice-cream recipe, you can of course pimp it up with some fruit sauces, chopped nuts (not too many), extra chopped fruit and whole unfrozen raspberries etc. Serve in a tall glass and make the healthiest sundae ever.
