Chocolate Banana Naturally Sweet Ice Cream

• bananas, peeled, cut into chunks, and frozen↗4
• unsweetened cocoa or similar, like 2 packets The Daily Good Greens Chocolate↗0.25 cup
• a few tablespoons of water
• chocolate bar, such as SuperFoods Chocolate, chopped into small pieces↗1
• peanut butter and sea salt for topping↗

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Let the bananas soften for a while at room temperature or in the microwave. You don’t want them to be rock hard because they’ll take a toll on your food processor or blender, but you don’t want them to be soft because you’ll get more of a smoothie texture. They should be frozen but starting to soften on the outside.

2. 2

   Pulse the bananas in a food processor until smooth. This is a heavy duty task – a blender can do it, but it’s going to need some help (a few stirs here and there) to move through the blender smoothly.

3. 3

   Dissolve the cocoa in the water to allow it to incorporate into the ice cream better. Add the chocolate paste to the food processor and puree again until incorporated.

4. 4

   Stir in the chocolate bits and anything else you might like – vanilla, sea salt, etc. Serve topped with drizzled peanut butter!
