- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into small, even pieces.
Step 2
Place the banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until solid.

Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed. This may take 2-3 minutes depending on your equipment.
Step 6
Once the mixture is smooth, fold in the dark chocolate chips using a spatula.
