Food Processor

Ingredients

4 frozen bananas (cutting into coins or chunks before freezing will make them easier to work with)
¼ cup plain, unsweetened plant-based milk
¼ cup cacao powder (substitute cocoa powder if preferred)

Instructions

Add frozen bananas and plant-based milk to the bowl of the food processor. Secure the lid. Holding tightly onto the lid of the food processor, pulse a few times to start breaking up the bananas.
Once the bananas are broken up into small chunks, add cacao powder to the food processor and pulse a few more times to incorporate it. Then, process on high until the nice cream is smooth and no banana chunks remain.
Transfer the mixture to a freezer safe container and freeze for 1-2 hours.

Notes

It's best to use very ripe or overripe bananas as they are sweeter than those that are still slightly green or just ripe ones.

To keep this recipe soy-free, avoid using soy milk. To keep this recipe nut-free, use a plant-based milk that is free from nuts. To keep this recipe paleo-friendly, avoid using soy milk, oat milk, rice milk and other non-paleo milks.

Store in a sealed freezer-safe container. Once the nice cream is fully frozen, you will need to leave it out at room temperature for a few minutes to soften up before enjoying.
