Instructions

In a blender or food processor, combine the frozen banana slices. Blend until a smooth paste forms, scraping down the sides as needed.
Add the low-fat cream, vanilla extract, and sugar (if using). Blend again until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This creates a light and airy texture.
Transfer the nice cream to a freezer-safe container. If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts. Freezing the nice cream firms it up for a scoopable consistency.
Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid. Before serving, let the nice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls and drizzle with chocolate syrup, if desired.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

Pour the chocolate sauce just at the time of serving.
For an extra-crunchy texture, toast the walnuts lightly in a dry skillet before adding them to the ice cream mixture or as a topping.
If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute the cream with well-chilled coconut cream or a blend of cashew and almond milk.
For an Asian-inspired flavor twist, add a teaspoon of toasted black sesame seeds or a swirl of salted caramel before freezing.
To achieve a smoother consistency without an ice cream maker, freeze the blended mixture in a shallow tray and whisk vigorously every 30 minutes until set, breaking up ice crystals.

Expert Tips

For a more intense chocolate flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher.
If adding mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in gently towards the end of the churning process to prevent them from breaking down.
Allow the ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping for easier serving.
