Ingredients

• 4 pieces ripe bananas
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy, optional)
• 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into thin, even-sized rounds.

Step 2

Place the banana slices in an airtight container or zip-top bag and freeze them for at least 2 hours, or until solid.

Step 3

Once the bananas are frozen, transfer them to a food processor or high-speed blender.

Step 4

Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and optional milk (for smoother consistency).

Step 5

Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This may take a few minutes but be patient!

Step 6

If desired, fold in dark chocolate chips for extra texture and richness.

Step 7

Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture or transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, and freeze for 1-2 hours for a firmer ice cream.

Step 8

Scoop into bowls and enjoy your chocolate banana ice cream!
