About

A creamy, indulgent frozen treat made with just blended frozen bananas and cocoa powder — no dairy, no ice cream maker needed. It's naturally sweet, rich, and ready in minutes.

Ingredients

4 large ripe bananas (peeled, sliced into 1-inch coins, and frozen overnight)
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
2–3 tablespoons milk or non-dairy milk (only if needed to loosen the blend)
2 tablespoons chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (optional, for topping)

Equipment

food processor or high-powered blender
knife
cutting board
freezer-safe bag or container
spatula

Steps

1

Freeze the Bananas
prep 5 min

Peel and slice the bananas into 1-inch coins, then spread them in a single layer on a plate or tray. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight. The bananas must be fully frozen solid for the best creamy texture.
2

Blend the Nice Cream
cook 5 min

Add the frozen banana slices, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt to a food processor or high-powered blender. Blend on high, stopping to scrape down the sides every 30 seconds, for about 2–3 minutes total. If the mixture is too thick to blend smoothly, add milk one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a soft-serve consistency — it should look creamy and uniform with no visible banana chunks.

Serve or Freeze for Firmer Texture
serve

For a soft-serve texture, scoop immediately into bowls and top with chocolate chips or chopped chocolate if desired. For a firmer scoopable ice cream texture, transfer to a freezer-safe container, smooth the top with a spatula, and freeze for an additional 1–2 hours before scooping. Serve within 2 weeks for best flavor.
