Chocolate Banana Ice Cream
This Chocolate Banana Ice cream is so easy to make with just two ingredients without the need for an ice cream maker. Perfectly creamy and rich and makes a healthy dairy-free vegan substitute for traditional chocolate ice cream!
Ingredients
- 3 large very ripe bananas , the spottier and brown the bananas, the better since they will be sweeter and you won't need to add any additional sweetener.
- 2 tablespoons cacao powder or sub with unsweetened cocao powder
OPTIONAL:
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1-2 teaspoons liquid sweetener of choice
Instructions
-
Slice the spotty brown bananas into 1-inch thick coins and place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 1 hour.
-
Place the frozen sliced bananas, cacao powder and optional vanilla and sweetener (if using) in a food processor (or a high-powered blender) and blend together until the mixture looks like soft serve ice cream, scraping the sides of the food processor as needed. After a few minutes, the mixture will resemble soft-serve ice cream.
-
Enjoy immediately or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1 hour or until desired consistency.
