Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large frozen bananas, peeled
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- Chopped nuts or sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Slice 1 cup of fresh strawberries and set aside. Use 3 large frozen bananas peeled and frozen in chunks for easier blending.
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine frozen bananas, sliced strawberries, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Pulse initially to break down chunks, then blend continuously for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy. Scrape down sides occasionally. Add 1-2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk if mixture is too thick.
- Melt 4 ounces chopped dark chocolate with 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl using 20-second bursts, stirring between each until glossy and smooth. Avoid overheating.
- Spoon the nice cream into serving bowls. Drizzle melted chocolate over the top and let it harden slightly as it cools. Add fresh strawberries on top.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts or festive sprinkles if desired. Serve immediately for soft-serve texture or freeze for 15-20 minutes for firmer nice cream.
Notes
Freeze bananas in chunks for easier blending. Use ripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness. Pulse and scrape often to avoid watery texture. Melt chocolate gently to avoid seizing. Serve immediately for soft texture or freeze briefly for firmer nice cream. Let frozen nice cream soften at room temperature before scooping if too hard.
