HEALTHY COCOA BANANA ICE CREAM TURKEYS

Ingredients: (makes 4 turkeys)

Easy Banana Ice Cream-
6 bananas
2-4 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons almond milk (or any kind of milk you like)

Decorations-
2 graham cracker rectangles
8 candy eyes
4 orange candy coated sunflower seeds*
4 red candy coated sunflower seeds


DIRECTIONS

Slice the bananas into 1/4 inch thick slices. Arrange on a two silicone mats in a single layer and pop in the freezer for about 2 hours, until they feel nice and frozen. 

Toss the frozen bananas into  a food processor. Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, peanut butter and milk and pulse 5 times, just to break up the bananas, then blend on high until smooth, scraping down the bowl as needed. Taste it and add more cocoa if desired. 

The ice cream will be quite soft at this point, so transfer it into a plastic bowl, cover it and pop it in the freezer for an hour or two, but not longer




Meanwhile, get your 4 graham cracker tail feathers cut using a 2 inch fluted biscuit cutter or a daisy cutter. Simply press the cutter into the graham cracker and cut.

Remove the ice cream and put one large scoop into each of the small condiment cups. Then scoop a much smaller scoop on top. Attach two candy eyes, one orange candy coated sunflower seed beak and one red candy coated sunflower seed waddle. Add one graham cracker tail feather and pop back into the freezer until you are ready to serve.
