What in the world is Fru-Cream you might ask? It is my word for one of the most delicious desserts you can make!
Fru-Cream is a non-dairy “ice cream” made with frozen fruit. There are umpteen varieties you can make, depending on your imagination. It can be made in a high speed blender, food processor, or with a machine called the Dessert Bullet.
I have tried many combinations for this and still love the way plain ‘ole frozen bananas turn into a creamy, smooth, sweet treat on my tongue. Start by ripening bananas, and when they have brown speckles on them, peel and freeze. I break them into 4’’ pieces and put them in a ziplock bag and freeze overnight. When ready to use, simply run through the top of the Dessert Bullet and it will emerge as “Iced Fru-Cream”. If you use a high powered blender, put some liquid in to get the blades to turn (I use almond milk), and the consistency will be a bit softer than if you were using the Dessert Bullet. If using a processor, just put the frozen banana pieces in the container without liquid and process with the “S” blade until creamy. This also will be softer, but you can put it in the freezer for a few minutes to firm up. Warning though: it’s best to eat this soon after making it, because freezing for long periods of time will change the consistency, and it will be hard as a rock to scoop out. Allow one frozen banana per person for a serving (recipe following for a tasty treat).
You might wonder, why not just eat real ice cream? I’ll tell you!
