A guilt-free, creamy banana nice cream bowl topped with chocolate-covered strawberries, perfect for Valentine’s Day or any sweet occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 large ripe bananas, peeled, sliced, and frozen
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 12 fresh strawberries, washed and dried thoroughly
  • 6 oz high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa recommended)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • Optional toppings: chopped toasted almonds or pistachios, shredded coconut flakes, drizzle of honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Freeze the Bananas: Slice ripe bananas into 1/2-inch pieces and spread them out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Prepare the Chocolate: Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces. Using a double boiler or microwave, gently melt the chocolate with coconut oil until smooth. If microwaving, heat in 20-second intervals, stirring well each time.
  3. Dip the Strawberries: Holding each strawberry by the stem, dip it into the melted chocolate, coating about two-thirds of the berry. Let excess drip off and place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with all strawberries.
  4. Set the Chocolate: Place the dipped strawberries in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to let the chocolate harden.
  5. Make the Nice Cream: In a blender or food processor, combine frozen banana slices, almond milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Blend on high until creamy and smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Assemble the Bowl: Scoop the banana nice cream into bowls. Arrange the chocolate covered strawberries on top. Sprinkle with optional toppings if desired.
  7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy right away for best texture. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the freezer for up to 2 days; thaw 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use ripe bananas frozen solid for best texture. Melt chocolate gently to avoid seizing. Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping. Adjust almond milk amount to customize nice cream thickness. Store nice cream and chocolate strawberries separately to avoid sogginess.
