Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen sliced bananas
- 2 tbsp coconut cream
- 4 pitted dates
- 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves about 8 leaves
- 1 drop peppermint extract
- 1 tbsp matcha powder optional
- almond milk as needed
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, add all ingredients except almond milk and mini chocolate chips to a high speed blender or Vitamix. If needed, work in two batches. Blend half the ingredients first and then add the rest and blend.
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy. If mixture is too thick and will not blend, add 1 tablespoon of almond milk to blender to blend.
- Once smooth and creamy, fold in mini chocolate chips.
- Line a bread pan with parchment paper. Pour nice cream into pan.
- Serve immediately for a soft serve texture or place a piece of plastic cling wrap on top of pan. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until frozen.
- Finally, remove pan from freezer. Scoop into bowls!
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Each serving is approximately one large scoop.
- Slice bananas into chips before freezing. Freeze until completely frozen.
- Use canned coconut cream. If using canned coconut milk, use only the hardened part on top. See photo above for reference.
- Add 1 tablespoon of almond milk at a time if blender isn't blending. A little bit of milk will help it blend.
- The matcha powder is solely for color. Use another food coloring if desired.
- This nice cream can be served either immediately for a soft serve texture or frozen for more of a traditional ice cream texture.
- When storing the ice cream, place a piece of plastic cling wrap on top. This prevents the ice cream from getting freezer burn.
- Store frozen for up to 2 months.
