Equipment

  • Blender or food processor

Ingredients
  

  • 3 bananas (ripe or over ripe)
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp nut butter
  • splash vanilla
  • pinch salt
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

Instructions
 

  • Peel your bananas and then cut them into chunks and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least an hour to freeze.
  • Remove from the freezer and add to your blender or food processor.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients.
  • Blend. You may have to stop and scrape down the sides a few times, but stick with it, and eventually you will be rewarded with a creamy ice cream.
  • Taste and see if it's sweet enough (it depends on how ripe your bananas are--riper bananas are sweeter, less ripe ones are less sweet) and if you feel like it needs a bit more sweetness, add a little maple syrup and blend again.
  • Eat immediately, or scrape into a covered container and store in the freezer.
