Mint Chocolate Chip Nice Cream is a refreshing and healthy dairy-free frozen dessert made from ripe bananas, creamy avocado, and a hint of peppermint extract. This vegan, gluten-free treat is naturally sweetened and enhanced with chopped dark chocolate for delicious texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 4 large bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 1 large avocado, peeled and pitted
  • ¼ cup almond milk (or other dairy-free milk)

Flavorings

  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 3 ounces chocolate bar, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling and slicing the bananas, then peel and pit the avocado. Freeze the banana slices for at least 2 hours prior to blending to ensure a creamy texture.
  2. Blend the Base: In a high-powered blender or food processor, combine the frozen banana slices, avocado, almond milk, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed for uniform consistency.
  3. Add Chocolate Chunks: Stir the roughly chopped chocolate bar pieces into the creamy base gently, distributing evenly without fully blending them to maintain chunks throughout.
  4. Freeze to Firm Up: Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 1 hour to firm up the nice cream before serving.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Scoop the mint chocolate chip nice cream into bowls or cones and serve immediately, or keep frozen for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • For best results, use very ripe bananas to maximize sweetness and creaminess.
  • You can substitute peppermint extract with fresh mint leaves for a more natural flavor, though the texture might change slightly.
  • Use dairy-free chocolate to keep the recipe vegan and dairy-free.
  • If the mixture is too thick to blend, add a splash more almond milk cautiously.
  • This recipe is naturally sweetened and requires no added sugar.
