Ingredients

  • 2 banana peeled and cut into slices that have been frozen for at least 2 hours
  • 2 tablespoon cocoa powder (unsweetened)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put the frozen banana pieces into a food processor with the cocoa powder.
  2. Blend until it forms a creamy ice cream consistency. (see notes below)

Notes

  • Really ripe bananas are best for this, so it's a great way to use bananas that are going a bit brown.
  • You will be a high powered food processor to make this. You might also need to scrape down the sides a couple of times. If your blender is really struggling with this, add a little milk to make it easier to blend.
  • To make this nice cream taste even more like ice cream a little more indulgent, it needs some fat blending into it like nut butter or coconut milk.
  • You can make a big batch of this and then put it back in the freezer. It will need softening a little again before serving.
  • Make sure you chop the bananas up before freezing them, as this will make it easier to blend them.
  • If you eat the nice cream right away, it will be like soft serve. However, you can put it back in the freezer for 30 minutes to harden it a little and make it scoop-able.
