Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium frozen bananas (let thaw for a few minutes before blending)
- 2 teaspoons espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- Vegan chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
Substitution Tips:
- Replace espresso powder with decaf coffee or omit for a caffeine-free version.
- Swap cocoa powder with carob powder for a unique twist.
Instructions
- Prepare the Bananas: Let frozen bananas thaw slightly (2–3 minutes) to make blending easier.
- Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine bananas, espresso powder, and cocoa powder. Blend until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides if needed. Visual Cue: The mixture should have a soft-serve ice cream texture—silky and lump-free.
- Serve or Freeze: Scoop into bowls immediately for soft serve or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for about 30 minutes if you prefer a firmer consistency.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle vegan chocolate chips on top for added crunch and flavor. Enjoy!
Notes
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve in chilled bowls for an extra refreshing treat. Top with cacao nibs, toasted nuts, or coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.
Tips & Tricks:
- Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and creaminess.
- Avoid adding liquid unless absolutely necessary—it can make the nice cream too runny. If blending is difficult, add just a splash of plant-based milk.
Storage & Reheating:
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 weeks. Let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before scooping if frozen solid. For soft serve after freezing, re-blend briefly with a splash of plant-based milk until creamy again.
