Cinnamon Roll Soft-Serve:)


Inspired by yesterday's Cinnamon Roll Smoothie:)

Cinnamon Roll Soft-Serve:)


For the banana soft-serve:
3 frozen bananas
6 Brazil nuts, finely ground
1"(inch) vanilla bean, finely ground
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, more or less, to taste
grab a few pecans, too:)

For topping:
1 tablespoon yacon syrup, or liquid sweetener like agave, date, or maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
chopped pecans
currants, or raisins
extra cinnamon to sprinkle

1. Pulse frozen bananas in food processor fitted with the "S" blade until chopped.
Process until the consistency of soft ice cream, stopping and scraping sides several times. Click here for some scary:) pictures of making banana soft serve.

2. Add ground Brazil nuts, ground vanilla bean, pecans, and ground cinnamon, and pulse until mixed.

3. Shape into a cinnamon roll...lol! I just used the back of a spoon and possibly a clean finger(around the edge) to create a round shape with a deep swirl on top. If making for guests, I would pipe it out using a pastry bag with a large plain tip. You may freeze the shapes firm, if desired.

4. For topping, mix cinnamon into yacon syrup. Drizzle into swirl of cinnamon roll, and sprinkle with chopped pecans and currants, and extra cinnamon if desired.

I will try to catch up with my lovely blogging friends very soon. Our electric had been out most of today due to the weather, and I may have to turn off the computer if the power starts blinking:)

Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope to see you all soon!
