Chocolate ice cream is undoubtedly the king of summer, especially for the little ones of the house. However, the options we find at the grocery store or some ice cream shops aren’t always the best. Have you ever asked yourself what’s in store-bought ice cream? The answer is, industrial quantities of sugar: cacao with added sugar, glucose syrup, cocoa butter with sugar… you get the idea. This chocolate ice cream recipe doesn’t have any of that refined sugar, just the natural sugars from the banana and coconut sugars contained in the cacao powder.
You don’t need an ice cream maker for this recipe, but if you have one, you can use it. A blender and a little patience are enough for this ice cream to freeze perfectly. Most importantly, make sure you use ripe bananas and freeze them beforehand. The more banana you add-in, the stronger it’s flavor will be, so you can add it in slowly, tasting as you go along.
