Chocolate banana nice cream comes together by blending frozen bananas with cocoa and a pinch of salt into a creamy ice cream with no sugar, cream, or ice cream maker. You slice ripe bananas into rounds and freeze them the day before, then let them soften for 2 minutes. You pulse them into a crumb in a powerful blender, blend in the cocoa and salt, and keep going until smooth and glossy. You serve it right away as soft-serve, or freeze it for an hour for firmer scoops.

Step by step process

Preparing the bananas

1
This frozen treat starts with well-ripened bananas. The day before, peel them and slice into evenly thick rounds. Spread them in a single layer on a plate lined with baking paper so they don't freeze into one block, then leave them to freeze overnight.
2
Take the frozen bananas out of the freezer and let them soften for 2 minutes at room temperature. Slightly softened pieces blend more easily and put less strain on the blender motor than fully frozen ones.

Blending and serving

3
Put the bananas into a powerful blender or food processor and pulse them into a coarse crumb. Scrape down the sides of the bowl between pulses with a spatula so the pieces near the edge get mixed in too.
4
Blend in the cocoa and a pinch of salt and keep going until you get a smooth, glossy lump-free cream. The salt rounds out the chocolate flavor and the cocoa gives it a deep dark color and aroma.
5
Serve the finished ice cream right away as a soft-serve style treat, or transfer it to a container and put it in the freezer for 1 hour if you prefer a firmer scoopable texture.
