Say yes to healthy Banana Ice Cream Sundaes! Frozen banana “ice cream”, simple fudge sauce and toppings can be dairy, sugar and gluten free.
Many years ago when I was 7 or 8 my parents gave me a backwards birthday party at home and we ate dessert first!
Instead of birthday cake, my mom made an ice cream sundae bar and everyone helped themselves to ice cream, chocolate sauce and toppings.
I loaded my bowl with creamy bananas, bright maraschino cherries and plenty of whipped cream.
Even as a child, I wasn’t crazy about ice cream, but I loved the combination of bananas and rich, hot chocolate sauce.
That childhood memory-eating ice cream sundaes at home with my friends and family- is still one of my best birthdays ever.Â
So why not make your own old fashioned sundae bar?
It’s easy to set up and a great summer activity for July Fourth and casual get togethers.
Make it easier! Avoid dishes by placing the toppings in a muffin pan with paper liners, then throw the paper away.
Save time and buy everything ready made or make your own incredibly delicious banana ice cream and date based fudge sauce!
Use your imagination with toppings. Offer healthy options like chopped nuts and fruit as well as some treats like candies, sprinkles, and maraschino cherries. Try a dairy free whipped topping or for a homemade alternative, whip cold coconut cream.
Happy July Fourth everyone! Relive your childhood with this healthy version of an old time favorite and dig in to

Hey Priscilla, Thanks!
Glad you stopped by and are open to trying a few new ideas.
Healthy fudge is really delicious and will keep in the fridge for about a month.
Thanks for sharing with us this Banana Recipe.
This idea is new and healthy.
Keep it up.

Great Victoria!

You can also do this with mangos- they make a great frozen treat as well.
