This 3-ingredient nice cream can be made quickly with frozen bananas anytime.

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced in 1-inch circles and frozen

  • 1 T cocoa powder or raw cacao
  • 1 T peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • 1 T or more plant-based milk, if needed

Instructions

1. Ripen bananas until they have some brown spots.
2. Peel bananas, slice into 1-inch pieces, and place in a freezer-proof container.
3. Freeze for 6 hours or overnight.
4. Place frozen bananas in a high speed blender or food processor.
5. Add peanut butter and cocoa powder.
6. Blend at high speed until creamy. If needed, add a tablespoon of plant-based milk to help the mixture blend.
7. Enjoy immediately or freeze for later use.

Chef's Notes

1. To make this nice cream nut-free, use canned white beans in place of the peanut butter.
2. If you have a regular blender, leave frozen bananas on the counter to soften slightly before blending.
