Got a sweet tooth? Try my Frozen Banana Custard made with just 1 ingredient!
Yep, this gold star recipe is comprised of, wait for it, frozen bananas. That’s it!
To make sure I’m always prepared to whip some up, I buy a bunch of bananas, cut them in half and freeze them. When I want to make custard, I take out two halves, slice them up, pop them in my food processor, and start blending.
First your banana will look like dippin’ dots.
Then it will start to clump together.
Then, with angels singing in the background, it will turn into frozen banana custard!
Better than any custard you’ve ever had! No sugar, no fat, no nothin’. Just bananas. That’s it!
You’d be surprised how much custard one banana makes, too. Thick, luscious and decadent. Perfect for a guilt-free dessert.

That banana custard is giving me banana envy. Kath made it down in NC too! Great minds think alike :) I also use Reames noodles in my chix noodle soup – the best kind IMO.
Sorry you didn’t have a gorgeous spring day in Iowa yesterday. It was sunny and 60 here in southern MN! I am so ready for the official end of winter. I have to keep my excitement down because I know we could still get a major snow storm :0

LOVE the banana custard!! I just saw the exact same thing on Kath’s blog lol!
Confidence and funny-ness make people beautiful IMHO – it’s definetly not about the physical.

Mmm that banana custard looks GOOOOD! I’m definitely gonna have to give that a try!
I just finished watching Gossip Girl! haha Love that show!
I definitely agree that confidence is what makes someone beautiful. :)

I tried the banana custard in my old blender and it was a big FAIL. It broke my blender. Maybe I should try it with the food processor…
Jessica Simpson’s show was really good! I was impressed! It’s sad what lengths some will go to for “beauty” and so interesting how the meaning of beauty can differ all over the world. I think beauty also comes from confidence.
The soup sounds GREAT!

Kath at KathEats just made this SAME BANANA THING on her blog–just read about it 20 seconds ago. :) So weird! Great minds think alike!

I tend to have that “moment” with someone where they do or say something and it makes me realize how unique and beautiful they are. It could be anything, usually depending on person to person. A generous action, a kind compliment, anything. It’s hard for me to summarize beyond that.
I made the St. Patrick’s Day pie tonight as a trial run for the holiday, and it was amazing! Props for that one!
And by the way…I had a nice laugh about the cheerios/Family Guy joke yesterday. I remember that episode well…or at least that part of it.

I’m with Jenna, I love Jessica and can’t wait to see her new show! I definitely think that confidence plays a major part in external beauty as well – and def not cockiness! If someone is comfortable in their own skin it really shines through. There’s so much to be said for how an individual treats others too – a nice person is a million times more beautiful than one that is not. External beauty is so superficial, and can be taken away in a heartbeat, thus being beautiful on the inside is really worth so much more :D

I am so proud of Jessica for The Price Of Beauty. I agree, I think this is going to be a very wonderful show.
Like you, I think confidence is everything. I have even seen it reflected in the way I carry myself. When I am having a cruddy day and am not feeling good about myself, I do not feel beautiful. But the days that I have pride and walk tall, people notice me and compliment me. It is all about the inner peace and beauty that sines through!

I love banana soft serve! I keep meaning to freeze bananas so I can make it again.
Jenny 03.15.2010
I thought I used to trust ya, but I don’t know – I’m gonna have to test this dessert out for myself- looks wayyyyy too good to be true!
Lauren @ Eater not a runner 03.15.2010
Loooove banana custard! I always need a little milk to make it work in my blender though ;-)
ShutupandRun 03.15.2010
Seriously very cool about the banana custard. I so want to try that. Seems almost too good to be true!
Lily @ Lily's Health Pad 03.15.2010
I have got to try that banana custard! The only thing that makes me cautious is that I think frozen bananas smell and taste a little funky. Everything’s worth a try though!

Banana whip is so delicious. I might have to whip some up tonight now that I’ve been enticed!
