nice cream recipe 1

Ingredients

  • 4 medium (472g) ripe bananas, sliced and frozen
  • 4 tablespoons (20g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup (56g) mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Special Equipment:

  • high-powered blender or food processor

Instructions

  1. Blend the frozen bananas on high speed until smooth and creamy. This may take up to 5 minutes (see recipe notes for troubleshooting tips).
  2. Add the cocoa powder and salt and blend until combined.
  3. Scrape the nice cream mixture into a freezer-safe dish. Fold in the chocolate chips (or any other desired mix-ins).
  4. At this point the nice cream will have a soft serve consistency. If you prefer a more frozen texture, freeze for at least 4-6 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

  1. Make this recipe dairy-free and vegan by using dairy-free chocolate chips or omitting them altogether.
  2. Other flavor ideas: 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or 1 tablespoon instant coffee dissolved in 1 tablespoon of water. Add these flavorings to the frozen bananas as you’re blending.   
  3. Other mix-in ideas: mini marshmallows, nut butter swirls, sprinkles, chopped nuts, or chopped dark chocolate. Mix into the nice cream just before freezing.
  4. To make dark chocolate nice cream add 1 extra tablespoon of cocoa powder.
  5. For best results use a very high-powered blender (such as a Vitamix) or a food processor. If it takes longer than 5-7 minutes for your bananas to blend into a smooth puree, try adding 1-2 tablespoons of milk or milk substitute. Stirring the bananas occasionally with a spatula may also help.
