Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe bananas (about 240 g), peeled, sliced, and frozen
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (about 12 g)

Instructions

  1. Place frozen banana slices in a blender or food processor.
  2. Blend until the bananas break down into a thick, creamy consistency.
  3. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
  4. Add cocoa powder and blend until smooth and fully combined.
  5. Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture or transfer to a container.
  6. Freeze for about 2 hours for a firmer texture, stirring every 20–30 minutes during the first hour.
  7. Let sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before scooping if frozen.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better flavor.
  • Do not skip freezing the bananas for proper texture.
  • Add a splash of plant-based milk if blending is difficult.
  • Customize with nut butter, fruit, or chocolate chips.
  • Best enjoyed fresh for the creamiest texture.
