Description
Chilly Chocolate Nice Cream delivers pure indulgence without guilt, blending frozen bananas and cocoa into silky smooth perfection. Cool dessert enthusiasts will savor this creamy, nutritious treat that satisfies sweet cravings with simple, wholesome ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 bananas (ripe, sliced and frozen)
- 2 tbsps unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup (60 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 1–2 tbsps peanut butter (optional)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions
- Preparation: Peel and slice ripened bananas into uniform pieces, then chill thoroughly in the freezer for a full night to ensure optimal texture and consistency.
- Blending Fusion: Combine frozen banana segments with rich cocoa powder, smooth almond milk, aromatic vanilla extract, and a delicate touch of salt in a powerful food processor or high-performance blender, pulverizing ingredients until achieving a luxurious, velvety consistency.
- Textural Refinement: Assess mixture’s smoothness, incorporating additional almond milk incrementally if necessary to reach desired silky-soft cream-like quality.
- Serving Strategy: For an indulgent soft-serve experience, consume immediately; alternatively, transfer mixture to an airtight container and allow to set in freezer for several hours to develop a more structured, scoopable dessert with intense chocolate undertones.
Notes
- Choose very ripe, spotty bananas for maximum natural sweetness and smoother texture.
- Break frozen banana slices into smaller chunks before blending to ensure ultra-smooth consistency and avoid icy texture.
- Experiment with add-ins like cinnamon, maple syrup, or a pinch of sea salt to enhance chocolate nice cream’s depth of flavor.
- Store leftover nice cream in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to prevent freezer burn and maintain creamy texture.
