Description

For all our coffee enthusiasts out there, we’ve brewed up a treat that combines the rich, bold flavors of coffee with the decadence of chocolate. This bowl of banana ice cream requires just three ingredients!


Ingredients

Scale

2 ripe frozen bananas

2 tbsp cacao or cocoa powder

1-2 tsp coffee powder (or sub a small amount of chilled brewed coffee - add slowly to avoid making the nice cream watery)

Optional: Unsweetened nut milk as needed for preferred consistency


Instructions

  1. Blend: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the frozen ripe bananas, cacao powder, and coffee. Blend on high until the mixture achieves a creamy and smooth consistency. If your blender encounters resistance, introduce a splash of unsweetened nut milk to facilitate blending. Exercise caution to avoid making the nice cream too runny.
  2. Adjust to Taste: Adjust the flavor to your liking by adding more cocoa or cacao powder for a chocolate boost, or sprinkle in additional coffee powder for an intensified coffee flavor.
  3. Enjoy!

Notes

Freeze for Future Pleasures: If there are leftovers, consider freezing them in ice cube or popsicle molds. Stored properly, these frozen delights can last up to a month in the freezer, though they are undoubtedly at their best when enjoyed fresh.
