The prep for this Mint Chocolate Nice Cream ecipe was only about 5 minutes. Then, you just place the mixture into the freezer to cool off for a few hours and then get scooping. I experimented with this recipe for a bit (oh, the struggles, right ?? ? ) and am super happy with this result. When I initially made this, I put waaaaay too much mint extract in there. Let me tell you � too much of a good thing is definitely not a good thing. It was way too minty�I�m talking fresh minty breath for days minty. When too much mint is added it tastes bitter and nobody wants that!
Total Time: 5m
Yield: 1-2 servings
Ingredients
* 2 overripe, frozen bananas
* pinch of salt
* 1/8 tsp pure peppermint extract, or more as desired
* optional pinch spirulina or natural food coloring
* optional 1/2 cup coconut cream or raw cashews, for a richer taste
* 2-3 tbsp broken-up dark chocolate or chocolate chips
Directions:
*Be sure to buy pure peppermint extract, not mint or imitation peppermint. add more extract for a more powerful mint flavor, adding slowly because a little goes a long way. If using the optional nuts, soak them 6 hrs to soften, then drain completely.
Start with bananas that are turning brown. Peel and cut into pieces, then freeze in an airtight bag or container. To make the ice cream, blend all ingredients until completely smooth. You can add the chocolate before or after blending. Serve immediately in a bowl, or transfer to a container and freeze until firm, then scoop out with an ice cream scoop.
