When I first transitioned in to a paleo lifestyle I missed a few things, and ice cream was one of them! But you can thank me later, because I just solved that problem! This ice cream is not only simple, but delicious! You know me though, I couldn't just stop at the ice cream… What about the toppings?!
Grilled Bananas and Chocolate Drizzle
Today, I took it a step further and added grilled bananas. Which immediately reminded me of getting sundaes and banana splits as a kid. All it was missing was some nuts and chocolate syrup to be one complete sundae. So I added those too! ;)
With simply two ingredients in the chocolate sauce, I bet you'll be making it for more than just this ice cream! Things like my Banana Bread, or even throw it on top some pancakes?!
Enough chit chat though! It's time to go have yourselves some delicious ice cream with toppings that will blow you away! Let me know how you like it in the comments below. Enjoy!

When you put the bananas on the grill do they go on skin side up or down? Do you turn them?
I put them skin side up and don’t turn them, just grill the flesh of the banana
