Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Begin by peeling the bananas. Slice them into coin-sized pieces for easier and faster freezing.
- Place the banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet or tray. Ensure the pieces do not overlap to prevent them from sticking together.
- Freeze the banana slices for at least 2 hours, or until they are completely frozen. For best results, you can freeze them overnight.
- Once the banana slices are thoroughly frozen, transfer them to a high-speed blender or a food processor. Ensure your blender or processor can handle frozen items.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the blender or processor.
- Pulse the bananas and cocoa powder a few times to break up the larger pieces.
- Continue to blend at a medium speed, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender/processor with a spatula to ensure an even mix.
- Blend until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth. This may take a few minutes, so be patient. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a splash of a plant-based milk (such as almond milk, soy milk, or coconut milk) to help it blend more easily.
- Once the mixture has reached a creamy, soft-serve consistency, it’s ready to be served immediately for a soft texture.
- For a firmer texture, transfer the mixture to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours.
- Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones. You can garnish with your favorite toppings, such as chopped nuts, dairy-free chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or fresh fruit if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your decadent vegan chocolate banana ice cream!
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas for a sweeter and creamier texture.
- Freeze the bananas at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Blend the mixture until it's completely smooth to avoid chunky bits.
- Try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
- You can fold in some vegan chocolate chips or nuts for added texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer and let it thaw for a few minutes before serving.
With just two ingredients and minimal effort, this Decadent Vegan Chocolate Banana Ice Cream is the perfect treat for any time you crave something sweet. It's easy to make, deliciously creamy, and a great way to enjoy a guilt-free dessert. Enjoy your homemade vegan ice cream and feel good about indulging in this simple, yet delectable, creation.
