Very ripe bananas and cocoa powder are the two ingredients in this frozen dessert. The bananas provide the creamy base after blending, while a brief microwave warm-up softens each frozen portion before serving. The recipe makes 10 servings.
Ingredients
- 20 very ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- Sugar-free whipped topping, for serving (optional)
- Zero-sugar chocolate syrup, for serving (optional)
Blend and freeze
- Peel the 20 very ripe bananas and place them in a blender. Purée until smooth.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Blend again so the cocoa is completely dispersed through the banana purée and no dry streaks remain.
- Divide the mixture among 10 individual freezer-safe bowls.
- Place the portions in the freezer until frozen.
To serve
Microwave one frozen portion for 20 seconds just before eating. This takes the hard chill off the mixture and makes it easier to spoon. Add sugar-free whipped topping and zero-sugar chocolate syrup if desired.
The source uses bananas that are already very ripe, which matters for both sweetness and blending. Purée the bananas fully before adding the cocoa so the final texture stays even.
