Description
Healthy chocolate nice cream is a creamy, dairy-free frozen dessert made from blended frozen bananas and cocoa powder. It’s a sweet, guilt-free treat with a velvety texture and rich chocolate flavor. Perfect for satisfying your dessert cravings without the extra sugars and dairy.
Ingredients
-
3 ripe bananas (frozen)
-
1–2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder or raw cacao powder
-
½ cup plant-based milk (almond, oat, or coconut)
-
Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or date paste, nut butter (peanut or almond)
Instructions
-
Peel and slice the bananas into coins. Arrange them in a single layer on a tray. Freeze them for at least 2 hours (overnight is best).
-
Once frozen, place the banana slices in a high-speed blender or food processor.
-
Add cocoa powder and a splash of plant-based milk.
-
Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk, a little at a time.
-
Scoop the nice cream into bowls. Serve immediately or freeze for a firmer texture.
-
Top with your favorite toppings like chopped nuts, fruits, or cocoa nibs.
Notes
The riper the bananas, the sweeter the nice cream.
Use a high-speed blender for the best texture.
For a thicker texture, freeze the nice cream for 1-2 hours after blending.
