Here’s what you need to make this easy, low-sodium chocolate ice cream recipe: ripe frozen bananas, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract and almond milk (or other plant-based milk). You just blend all the ingredients in blender then serve or freeze before serving.

Serve with your favorite ice cream toppings like chopped nuts or sliced

Recipe Notes

• Feel free to use the milk of your choice in this recipe.

• You can make plain nice cream (not chocolate) by leaving out the cocoa powder.

• The consistency of nice cream is similar to soft-serve ice cream. If you prefer it to be more firm, then allow it to set for a couple of hours in the freezer before serving.

• Store leftover nice cream in an airtight container in the freezer.

Here’s how to make it:

1. Put the frozen banana chunks into a blender or food processor.

   
   

2. Add the cocoa powder, vanilla extract and almond milk.

   
   

3. Blend until smooth.

   
   

   
   

4. Serve immediately, or pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Freeze a couple of hours until it firms up, then serve.
