Servings:
Ingredients
- 4 bananas peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces and frozen
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- Nondairy milk just a splash to get things moving in your blender
Optional mix-ins:
- Hemp seeds
- Vegan protein powder
- Almond butter or other nut butter
Optional toppings:
- Blueberries
- Strawberries
- Vanilla
- Vegan chocolate chips
- Chopped nuts
- Fresh fruit
- Roasted coconut chips
Instructions
- Drop the bananas, cocoa powder, and nondairy milk into a blender or food processor. Add a small amount of one or two of the optional mix-ins. Blend until creamy.
- Serve immediately (or refreeze briefly, see note below) with toppings, if desired.
Notes
Note: The natural consistency of this chocolate banana ice cream is like soft-serve. If you want something more scoop-able, put it in the freezer for up to an hour. Careful, though. If you leave it in any longer than an hour you'll have a giant popsicle, and not in a good way.
