Chocolate Almond Nice Cream Recipe
Chocolate almond nice cream is made with just 4 ingredients, and uses only banana as the sweetener! This healthy ice cream is dairy-free, refined sugar-free, super chocolaty, rich from the almond butter and super easy to make. It will quickly become your go-to healthy soft-serve ice cream once you try it!
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1-2 tbsp almond milk, (here’s how to make your own)
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
Instructions
- Start by freezing your bananas (if you aren’t already starting with frozen bananas). Take 2 ripe bananas, peel, and slice them into 1-2 inch pieces. Lay the sliced bananas on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Place in the freezer and allow the banana to fully freeze. The bananas will take a couple of hours (2-3) to freeze.
- When the banana pieces are frozen, it’s time to make chocolate almond nice cream! Place the frozen banana pieces in a food processor (or high-speed blender) and pulse a few times to begin to break them down. After that, turn the food processor on and allow it to run for 30 seconds, breaking the banana down. It will look kind of stuck right about then.
- Add in 1 tbsp of milk (up to 2), almond butter, and cocoa powder. Turn the food processor back on, and let it run for 30 seconds. Scrape down the side and break up any chunks that get stuck – we want smooth nice cream with soft-serve consistency! Continue to process until you are left with smooth, creamy nice cream. You can use it right away, or place it in a loaf pan lined with parchment paper and freeze to make it a little more solid and scoopable.
- Enjoy many scoops of nice cream with almond slivers and/or chocolate chips!
