Chocolate Nice Cream

Bananas are magical. Yes, you read it.

What else would you call a fruit that can turn into a soft serve Ice Cream?

It only takes a few steps, and you can eat this healthy creamy dessert- GUILT FREE. This recipe is also PALEO and VEGAN, and requires only 3 ingredients!

First- Prepare. You can make this dessert in just a few minutes if you prepare in advance!

Preparation is easy:

If you have any ripe bananas (even overripe) at home, peel and slice them (DO NOT freeze the bananas with the skin on!!! It will turn into stone and you won't be able to peel them).

Then, put them in a freezer safe bag (like ziplock or any other brand), just like I did here-

Put it in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours. IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BANANAS ARE COMPLETELY FROZEN. Otherwise, you'll get baby food.

You can prepare a big amount of bananas (put the amount of 1-2 bananas in every bag), that way, you won't have to prepare it every time you want the nice cream, but just take one bag out of the freezer and get down to business!

What do we need for our creamy Chocolate nice cream?

Ingredients:

2 ripe sliced bananas, frozen

1 tbsp cocoa powder

1 tsp maple syrup (Optional)

Instructions:

Put the bananas in a food processor or a blender (make sure your food processor or blender are decent and strong, otherwise it won't work or even brake).

Pulse a few times, then let it run. It might take a minute or two, but soon the bananas will magically get a creamy texture.

At this point you'll have the basic nice cream, which is awesome to eat as is. For the more awesome chocolate nice cream, add the cocoa powder, and if you like it sweeter (personally I like the natural sweetness of the bananas) you may add the maple syrup (make sure it's a real 100% maple syrup and not some other sugary syrup wannabe).

For topping you can add anything you would like.

A few ideas:

Melted dark chocolate (85%)

Unsweetened shaved coconut

Chopped walnuts or pecans

Chopped dates

Mixed Berries

More banana slices

Or anything that comes to mind!

And that's it! Now you have a chocolaty creamy ice cream that is completely guilt free, but also amazingly delicious! Have a healthy yummy day <3
