    <![CDATA[<p>The catalyst for this <a href="http://www.elanaspantry.com/roasted-banana-coconut-ice-cream/">naturally sweetened, vegan, gluten free ice cream</a> (don&#8217;t be scared by all the descriptors) is a recipe from Karina&#8217;s Kitchen for Maple Roasted Banana Ice Cream.  Thanks Karina, your creativity, spunk and inspiration continue to be contagious!</p>


	<p>This ice cream is not the easiest to make, given that there are a couple of steps involved, however it&#8217;s mighty tasty and my children love it&#8212;we hid it from my husband because we wanted more for the 3 of us.  And he&#8217;s been traveling a ton, so it was easy to keep it a secret.</p>]]>
