Monkey Tails Frozen Banana Dessert

I know this is going to come as a surprise to many but I’m not an ice cream girl.

Don’t get me wrong. I will eat ice cream and thoroughly enjoy it but I wouldn’t choose it over a warm slice of fruit pie or better yet, a savory dish.

The hubs on the other hand would eat ice cream anytime of the day no matter how full he is. Ice cream is his thing.

Unfortunately for him, we don’t get it often because not only is the hubs obsessed, so are my girls. They have the curse of ice cream and innocently claim that it just fills the cracks. Yes, this is a problem.

Monkey Tails Frozen Banana Dessert | no one can deny the fact that a cold treat on a hot summer day is the best thing ever, especially when it is homemade. And with the big frozen banana ice cream craze that has struck the internet, I thought why not?

So we simplified the frozen banana ice cream and just stuck with a frozen banana on a stick. Once you have that, the options are endless. We stuck with frozen banana coated in some sunbutter (peanut butter or almond butter would work as well), coated it in a chocolate shell and dressed it up with some sprinkles, finely flaked coconut as well as some chopped nuts.

It is even a good recipe to get the little hands involved. I mean what kid doesn’t love sprinkles? Regardless of my love hate relationship with them. Lets be honest, whenever sprinkles come out we seem to use the entire container in one recipe. Why? Because my kids use it as confetti, against my will of course and manage to sprinkle the entire kitchen in the time it takes me to turn around before I can even mutter any words out. ->SIGH<-
