I crave ice cream daily. It’s just the truth.
So I thought I’d try this frozen banana business since it’s an ice cream that is ready for snacking quickly! You just need frozen bananas, cocoa, vanilla, and more chocolate.
Top this with hot fudge for a remixed banana split!
Go ahead and freeze a few freckled bananas. Blend it up! Add malt powder even (Man! Now I wish I would’ve!) and enjoy every bite without worrying about having to wear stretchy pants for life.
Speedy Banana Cocoa Ice Cream
Recipe adapted from the kitchn
Ingredients:
- 3 bananas, peeled and frozen for 2+ hours
- 1 T cocoa powder
- 1/2 t vanilla extract
- 1 T milk
- chocolate chips, optional
Directions:
- Cut the bananas into pieces and process in your food processor or powerful blender with all of the ingredients until smooth. Serve immediately! It’ll be the consistency of soft-serve ice cream. If there’s any leftover freeze in an airtight container. Remove from the freezer for 5-10 minutes to soften a bit before scooping. Serve with a sprinkling of cocoa powder and handful of chocolate chips.

Whoa! It looks like a frosty!
i make this ALL THE TIME, usually with bananas + a few frozen strawberries + chocolate chips thrown in. so good! trying this cocoa version next.
Awesome, Laura! I bet your berry versions are amazing. I’ve been a fool not to have made it until now.
We did this the other day… but a banana cinnamon ice cream. It has such a great texture for not having any cream!
Megan, that looks like the yummiest chocolate ice cream… I can’t believe it’s just some bananas and cocoa powder mixed together. I can do this. Like, now!
I am so going to get bananas tomorrow, and eat this tomorrow night.
Carrie – yes! I love cinnamon with bananas!
Heather – it’s magic!
Lora – I bet you’ll love it!
This looks so good! I’ll have to try it tonight.
