Chocolate Banana Ice Cream

This Chocolate Banana Ice Cream is a creamy, guilt-free dessert that’s quick, easy, and requires just a few ingredients. Naturally sweetened with bananas, it’s a healthier alternative to traditional ice cream. Perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings! 🍌🍫


Ingredients (Serves 2-3):

  • 3 ripe bananas, peeled, sliced, and frozen
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional toppings: chocolate chips, chopped nuts, whipped cream, or fresh fruit

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Bananas:

    • Freeze the banana slices for at least 4-6 hours or overnight for best results.
  2. Blend:

    • In a food processor or high-powered blender, add the frozen banana slices, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Adjust Consistency:

    • If the mixture is too thick, add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
  4. Serve or Freeze:

    • Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture. For a firmer ice cream, transfer the mixture to an airtight container and freeze for 1-2 hours.
  5. Garnish:

    • Top with your favorite toppings, such as a drizzle of chocolate syrup, sliced bananas, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts.

Tips:

  • Add a tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter for a richer flavor.

  • For an extra indulgent treat, swirl in some caramel or Nutella before freezing.
