Who knew that frozen bananas could transform into a luscious, gelato-like dessert? This chocolate banana ice cream is a quick, healthy alternative to traditional ice cream that’s perfect for satisfying those dessert cravings.
Made with just three wholesome ingredients—frozen bananas, nut butter, and cacao powder—it’s the ideal way to use up overripe bananas. The natural sweetness of the bananas means there’s no need for added sugar, making this a nourishing treat you can enjoy any time.
The secret to its creamy texture is patience. Blend everything in a food processor, and while it might take a minute or two, resist the urge to add liquid. Let the processor do its magic, and you’ll end up with a silky, scoopable dessert that rivals the real thing.
To elevate the flavour, try adding a pinch of salt, which perfectly balances the sweetness. Toppings like cacao nibs and chopped pistachios add a delightful crunch, but feel free to get creative!
Whether as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up or a quick dessert, this chocolate banana ice cream is bound to become a freezer staple.
