Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 frozen ripe bananas (peeled and sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk (almond, oat, or coconut)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave syrup for additional sweetness

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Bananas: Peel ripe bananas, slice them into coins, and freeze them for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight to achieve the ideal creamy texture.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Place the frozen banana slices in a high-speed blender or food processor. Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract. If desired, add maple syrup or your preferred natural sweetener here.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Pulse or blend the mixture, scraping down the sides as necessary, until it reaches a creamy, soft-serve consistency. This process typically takes 1 to 3 minutes depending on your blender’s power.
  4. Serve or Freeze: Enjoy your Chocolate Banana Nice Cream immediately as a soft-serve dessert, or transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for 1 to 2 hours for a firmer, scoopable texture.

Notes

  • Freeze bananas in portions to avoid clumping during blending.
  • Use a powerful blender or food processor for the smoothest texture.
  • Don’t skip the vanilla extract, as it enhances flavor and balances bitterness.
  • Taste before adding sweeteners since ripe bananas are naturally sweet.
  • Optional toppings like nuts, fresh fruit, or nut butter enhance texture and flavor.
