Description
Indulge in a guilt-free frozen dessert that mimics the luxurious texture of traditional gelato without the heavy cream or processed sugars. This nutrient-dense treat leverages the natural pectin in frozen bananas and the protein-rich creaminess of Greek yogurt to create a velvety soft-serve. Perfect for a refreshing summer snack, it is easily customizable with your choice of fruit and contains no artificial additives, ensuring a stable blood sugar level and a deeply satisfying chocolate flavor.
Ingredients
4 ripe bananas, sliced and frozen
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Slice the ripe bananas into small coins and freeze completely before use.
Place the frozen banana coins into the base of a high-speed food processor.
Add the Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, almond milk, and vanilla extract over the bananas.
Pulse the mixture in short, controlled intervals to break down the frozen fruit.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Process on high speed for approximately sixty seconds until a smooth, soft-serve consistency is achieved.
Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for up to one hour for a firmer scoopable texture.
Notes
Substitute frozen mango for a tropical variation if desired. Use coconut yogurt as a direct, creamy alternative for a vegan version. Oat milk can be used instead of almond milk for a thicker, even creamier texture. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
