Description
Creamy healthy chocolate banana ice cream made with frozen bananas, Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, and peanut butter. Naturally sweet, rich, and perfect for a healthy frozen dessert.
Ingredients
3 ripe bananas, sliced and frozen
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp natural peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp milk of choice (if needed for blending)
Optional Toppings:
Dark chocolate chips
Crushed peanuts
Chocolate drizzle
Banana slices
Instructions
1. Slice bananas and freeze until completely solid, about 3–4 hours or overnight.
2. Add frozen bananas, Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt to a blender or food processor.
3. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed.
4. Add a splash of milk if mixture is too thick to blend.
5. Serve immediately for soft-serve texture or freeze for 1–2 hours for scoopable ice cream.
6. Top with chocolate chips or crushed peanuts before serving if desired.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness.
Freeze in a shallow container for easier scooping.
Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping if fully frozen.
Store frozen up to 2 weeks.
