A guilt-free, creamy dessert featuring frozen bananas blended into a smooth nice cream base, topped with fresh strawberries and a rich homemade chocolate drizzle. Perfect for Valentine’s Day or any sweet occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe bananas, peeled, sliced and frozen
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • Optional: toasted coconut flakes or chopped nuts for crunch

Instructions

  1. Freeze the Bananas: Peel and slice 3 large ripe bananas into coins about 1/2 inch thick. Place them in a freezer-safe container or bag and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Prepare the Chocolate Drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil, and a pinch of sea salt until smooth and glossy. Set aside at room temperature.
  3. Blend the Nice Cream Base: Add frozen banana slices to a high-speed blender or food processor along with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons almond milk. Pulse and scrape down the sides as needed until silky and soft-serve consistency is reached (about 3-5 minutes). Add more almond milk if needed, but avoid making it runny.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: Spoon the nice cream into serving bowls. Arrange halved fresh strawberries on top. Drizzle the chocolate sauce generously over the strawberries and banana base. Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes or chopped nuts if desired.
  5. Serve Immediately: Enjoy right away for best texture and flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer and let soften for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use fully frozen ripe bananas for the creamiest texture. Melt coconut oil gently to avoid clumping in the chocolate drizzle. Scrape blender sides often to ensure smoothness. Chocolate drizzle thickens as it cools; keep warm before drizzling. Frozen strawberries can be used if fresh are unavailable—thaw and drain excess liquid first.
