3 Ingredient Mint Chocolate Chip Banana Ice Cream

You’d never imagine that a banana could whip up into such a rich-and-ice-creamy texture, but here we are. It’s pretty magical. Does it fully replace one’s desire for the occasional McConnell’s, no. But is it a delicious and healthy weeknight alternative that’s quick to make and super satisfying to dig into on the couch? Yes. I am obsessed with mint chocolate chip ice cream, so this combo has become the norm at my house, but you could add ingredients to make this banana ice cream into any flavor your heart desires.

In addition to being just plain delightful, banana ice cream is my preferred way to make sure I don’t ever waste any past their prime bananas. When I have a banana that’s getting a little too brown and squishy I just remove the peel, and put it a large ziplock bag in the freezer, adding bananas to the same bag as I’ve got em.


INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 tbsp fresh mint

  • ⅔ cup dark chocolate chips

  • 4 frozen bananas

LET’S COOK:

  1. Add all of your ingredients into a high power blender and use the tamper to push all the ingredients to the bottom.

  2. Blend on high until creamy and smooth, about 1 minute. If you don’t have a high power blender you can either add 1/3 of a cup of milk (any milk or milk substitute will do) or use a food processor.

  3. Enjoy right away or put in the freezer for later. It gets quite hard in the freezer, so you’ll want to put it on the counter 10 minutes before enjoying it.
