Ingredients
For the Nice Cream Base
- 4 Bananas frozen, overripe, sliced
For the Strawberry Banana Nice Cream
- 1/2 cup Strawberries chopped and frozen
For the Chocolate Banana Nice Cream
- 1 Tbsp Cocoa Powder unsweetened
For the Vegan Chocolate Sauce (Optional)
- 1 cup Dates soaked for 6 hours
- 1 Tbsp Cocoa Powder unsweetened
- 5-6 Tbsp Water or as needed for desired consistency
Instructions
Make the Vegan Chocolate Sauce (Optional)
- Combine all chocolate sauce ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth, adding more water if needed to reach your desired consistency. Set aside.
Prepare the Bananas
- Peel and slice overripe bananas. Freeze them in an airtight bag or container until solid. This is a great way to use up bananas that are past their prime.
Make the Strawberry Banana Nice Cream
- Add the frozen banana slices and frozen strawberries to a food processor or high-powered blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, resembling soft-serve ice cream. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times.
Make the Chocolate Banana Nice Cream
- Add the frozen banana slices and unsweetened cocoa powder to a food processor or high-powered blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the nice cream immediately for a soft-serve texture. For a firmer consistency, transfer the nice cream to a container and freeze for 30 minutes before scooping. Drizzle with the optional vegan chocolate sauce and garnish with fresh berries, if desired.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For an extra-creamy texture, freeze your sliced bananas and strawberries in a single layer before blending. Then, pulse in a high-speed blender or food processor until smooth—this helps avoid icy chunks and achieves true "ice cream" consistency.
- Enhance the chocolate flavor by adding a pinch of instant espresso powder or a drop of pure vanilla extract to the chocolate banana version before blending.
- If you’d like to introduce crunch and new flavors, sprinkle chopped nuts (such as pistachios or almonds) or cacao nibs over the top just before serving.
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, use overripe bananas. They're sweeter and blend more easily.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding a touch of honey or maple syrup before blending.
- Get creative with mix-ins! Try adding other frozen fruits like raspberries, blueberries, or mango.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftovers in a freezer-safe container and press a piece of parchment paper directly onto the surface before sealing to minimize ice crystals and preserve creaminess. Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
