Instructions

5 steps
  1. 1

    Slice ripe bananas and freeze them for at least 4 hours.

  2. 2

    Blitz the frozen slices in a food processor or strong blender.

  3. 3

    Scrape down the sides and blend again until smooth and creamy — take your time.

  4. 4

    Add the cocoa and blend 30 seconds more. Use the milk only if the machine stalls.

  5. 5

    Serve right away as soft-serve, or freeze 1 hour for a firmer scoop.

Notes and substitutions

Variations: peanut butter, frozen strawberries or coconut flakes.

The riper the banana, the sweeter the result — freeze the ones going soft.

How to store and reheat

  • Freezer: up to 1 month in a shallow sealed tub, with film pressed on the surface.
  • It firms up a lot: let it sit out 10 minutes before scooping.
  • Don't refreeze after it melts completely — the texture turns grainy.
