Deborah's Frozen Banana Dessert

My friend Deborah taught me how to make this. It's so delicious and light and refreshing and easy and fun to make. Great for company or just a cool treat on a summer night.

You must serve this immediately, while it's still cold, so don't start making it till you are ready to eat it.

• 1 frozen banana per serving. (I like to put bananas in the freezer if they are starting to get too ripe and I can't use them fresh. They'll keep quite a while in the freezer. Better to peel before freezing since it's hard to get the peel off after they are frozen.)
• 1/2 cup plain yoghurt per serving. (Works fine with high fat, low fat, greek, etc. If use greek you might need to add a tiny bit of milk to thin it down a little.
• 2 or 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice per serving. (Lemon juice works fine if you don't have limes.)
• A little sugar or honey (optional)

1. Cut frozen banana(s) into chunks and put into blender. (Be sure not to let the bananas thaw beforehand. You want to serve this dessert as cold as possible.)
2. Add yoghurt and lime juice.
3. Blend till smooth. (Don't overdo because want to keep it cold.)
4. Taste and then, if you'd like it to be sweeter, add more banana or a little sugar or honey. (Be careful not to get too sweet.)
5. Spoon into a dessert glass. A wine glass works great.
6. Serve immediately, while it's still cold.

1. Freeze the yoghurt as well as the bananas.
2. Add other frozen fruit.
3. Add nuts.
4. Add chocolate.
