Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 3 medium Ripe bananas
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
Peel the ripe bananas, cut them into slices, and freeze them for at least 2 hours or until fully frozen.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the frozen banana slices, unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender a few times to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding a little more maple syrup if needed.
Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover the container tightly.
Freeze the ice cream for 2-4 hours, or until it reaches your desired consistency.
To serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Scoop and enjoy immediately!
