Description
A creamy, chocolatey, and naturally sweet vegan ice cream made with just bananas and cocoa powder. This two-ingredient treat is quick, healthy, and perfect for satisfying dessert cravings without dairy or added sugar.
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas, sliced and frozen
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Slice bananas into rounds and freeze on a parchment-lined baking sheet for at least 25 minutes or until solid.
- Transfer frozen banana slices to a food processor. Add cocoa powder.
- Blend for 1–2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until smooth and creamy.
- Serve immediately for soft-serve consistency, or freeze for 1–2 hours for a firmer texture.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas with brown spots for the best sweetness and texture.
- Add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Mix in chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or coconut flakes after blending for texture.
- Substitute cocoa powder with cacao powder for deeper chocolate flavor.
- Let frozen leftovers sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before scooping.
