Description

A creamy and healthy Chocolate Banana Ice Cream made with frozen bananas, cocoa powder, and almond butter. This no-churn recipe is quick to prepare using a blender or food processor and can be enjoyed immediately or frozen for a firmer texture. Naturally sweet, dairy-free, and a perfect guilt-free dessert for chocolate lovers.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 4 frozen bananas (peeled)
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter (can substitute peanut butter)

Additional Ingredients

  • ¼ cup milk of choice (only if using a food processor)
  • Optional: chocolate chunks or chips (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blender: Place the frozen bananas, cocoa powder, and almond butter into a high-powered blender.
  2. Blend the Mixture: Blend on high speed using a plunger to push ingredients down as needed. Continue blending for 2-3 minutes until the ice cream is smooth and creamy.
  3. Serve or Freeze: Enjoy immediately as soft-serve or transfer to a container and freeze for 2 hours for a firmer texture. Optionally, sprinkle with chocolate chunks or chips before serving.
  4. Prepare the Food Processor (Alternative Method): If using a food processor, add frozen bananas, cocoa powder, almond butter, and ¼ cup milk. Pulse until bananas are mostly broken down.
  5. Continue Processing: Scrape down the sides of the food processor, then process on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  6. Serve or Freeze: Serve immediately as soft-serve or freeze for 2 hours for firm scoops. Garnish with chocolate chunks if desired.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and creaminess.
  • If using a blender, do not add milk to avoid a runny texture.
  • You can substitute almond butter with peanut butter or any nut butter of preference.
  • For a vegan version, use a plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or coconut milk if using a food processor.
  • Chilling the ice cream for 2 hours enhances scoopability but it can be eaten immediately for a soft-serve texture.
