Description
Chocolate Banana Ice Cream is a healthy, dairy-free dessert made with frozen bananas, almond milk, almond butter, and cocoa. It’s creamy, naturally sweet, and made in minutes!
Ingredients
3 frozen bananas, chopped into chunks
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (chocolate or vanilla)
1 tablespoon almond butter
1/2 to 1 tablespoon cacao or cocoa powder
1/2 tablespoon cacao nibs or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
1. Add frozen banana chunks, almond milk, almond butter, and cocoa powder to a high-speed blender or food processor.
2. Pulse or blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
3. Add chocolate chips or cacao nibs and pulse once to mix (if using).
4. Serve immediately for soft-serve texture, or freeze for 2–3 hours for a firmer scoopable consistency.
Notes
To make it nut-free, swap almond milk for oat milk and almond butter for sunflower seed butter.
For extra flavor, add cinnamon, peppermint extract, or espresso powder.
Freeze in an airtight container with parchment pressed to the surface to reduce ice crystals.
