This ice cream is easy and delicious and very impressive.  No-one will guess that it is healthy!

A Healthy Eating Recipe

1 block of silken Tofu (the long life type is great)
4 very ripe bananas, skins removed, in chunks, frozen
2 tsp honey 

Place above in the Thermomix bowl in the order listed.  

Add:  Ice cubes to 1.75 litre mark on Thermomix bowl

Stir vigorously in opposite direction to movement of ingredients whilst running the TM31 at Speed 9 for up to 1½  minutes.  Stop when you feel that you have a good ice cream consistency, check by tasting, and process longer if necessary.  If  the ice cream is too liquid still, add more ice cubes and repeat processing as above.  

Absolutely delicious, very quick and easy.  Suitable for diabetics as appropriate for your fruit and protein allowances.  An excellent source of soy for menopausal women, too.

Chef's tip:  Lovely served with toasted (unsalted!) pistachio nuts on top.

Chef's tip:  When the bananas in your fruit bowl get to the brown spotty stage, if no-one is going to eat them, peel, break into chunks and open freeze on a tray.  When frozen, place in a freezer bag or box and keep frozen until needed.  Handy not only for this recipe, but also for smoothies, milk (or rice milk) shakes, slush puppies, sorbets and cocktails.
