Chocolate Ice Cream
This simple chocolate ice cream derives its sweet and creamy flavor from a surprise ingredient: potassium-packed bananas.
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas, peeled and frozen
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup milk of choice, light coconut milk, cow’s milk, etc.
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Whisk together the cocoa powder, coconut milk, vanilla and salt in a small bowl.
- Break the frozen bananas into large chunks and place in the bowl of a food processor along with the chocolate mixture (if your bananas have been in the freezer for longer than a day, it’s best to thaw for about 10 minutes before pureeing). Blend well, stopping to scrape down the sides often to get a smooth, even consistency.
- Scoop the ice cream into small bowls and serve immediately or cover and freeze. If you’re saving the ice cream for a later time, remove the bowls from the freezer about 5 minutes to slightly thaw before serving the treat.
