It is the perfect satisfying snack to keep you energized, providing a smooth, velvety texture through a simple blender method that requires no special churned ice cream equipment.
Ingredients
4 large bananas, sliced and frozen
1/4 cup raw cacao powder
2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
Place sliced bananas in the freezer for at least four hours until completely frozen.
Remove bananas from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for five minutes.
Place the slightly softened bananas into a blender or food processor.
Pulse until the bananas reach a gravel-like texture.
Add the cacao powder, almond milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
Process on high speed, using a tamper to push contents toward the blades.
Scrape the sides of the bowl periodically to ensure a smooth, uniform consistency.
Notes
Ensure bananas are fully frozen for the best creamy texture. For a softer-serve consistency, add an extra tablespoon of almond milk. You can substitute cacao powder with carob powder for a caffeine-free version.
