Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 2 cups plain Greek yoghurt
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 handful dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them into 1-inch rounds.
Place the banana slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 2-3 hours until fully frozen.
In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the frozen banana slices, Greek yoghurt, unsweetened cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure even blending.
If using dark chocolate chips, fold them into the mixture with a spatula after blending.
Transfer the mixture to an airtight, freezer-safe container and spread it out evenly.
Cover the container and freeze for another 2-3 hours until it firms up to a scoopable consistency.
Scoop into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Garnish with additional chocolate chips or banana slices if desired.
