Do you have a Blendtec blender? Then this is the recipe for you! Although this ice cream contains spinach, I think that if I had been blindfolded and eaten it I would have just thought it was vanilla ice cream. Oh the joyful tastelessness of baby spinach! :)
This recipe is from Blendtec. The changes I made were to use whole milk instead of half and half and sugar instead of agave. My baby loved it so much she was crying when it was gone.
Additionally, if you don't have a Blendtec I think that you could probably prepare it in a traditional ice cream maker by blending the ingredients in your blender--except for the ice. Perhaps use an additional cup of half and half or milk instead. Chill mixture for a couple of hours, then prepare in ice cream maker.
Recipe:
3/4 cup half and half
1/4 cup agave nectar syrup
2/3 c nonfat dry milk
1/2 banana
2 c spinach, lightly packed
1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups ice cubes
Put in Blendtec in order listed. Press ice cream button. Serve.
I find it exhilarating that you can be serving spinach-laden ice cream in 2 minutes. What?! This would make such a fun St. Patrick's Day dessert.
Also, you can buy 10-pound bags of pebble ice at Sonic for $1.71.
Enjoy!
