Cook Time: -
Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas, frozen
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Cherries (for topping)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 ripe bananas that have been frozen, 1/2 cup of almond milk (or your preferred milk), 1/4 cup of chocolate syrup, 1/4 cup of chopped nuts, whipped cream for topping, and cherries for garnish.
- Take the frozen bananas out of the freezer and allow them to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. This will make them easier to blend.
- Once the bananas have softened a bit, cut them into smaller chunks and place them in a blender or food processor.
- Add the 1/2 cup of almond milk to the blender with the banana chunks. This will help create a creamy texture.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, resembling soft-serve ice cream. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well combined.
- If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Once the banana nice cream is ready, spoon it into serving bowls or cups, dividing it evenly among 4 servings.
- Drizzle the 1/4 cup of chocolate syrup over the nice cream in each bowl, allowing it to cascade down the sides.
- Sprinkle the 1/4 cup of chopped nuts over the top of the chocolate syrup for added crunch and flavor.
- Top each serving with a generous dollop of whipped cream to create a delightful finishing touch.
- Finally, place a cherry on top of each serving for a classic banana split presentation.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Banana Split Nice Cream!
Tips
- Use Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and creamier your nice cream will be. Look for bananas with lots of brown spots for the best flavor!
- Freeze Bananas Ahead: Make sure to slice and freeze your bananas in advance. This not only makes blending easier but also gives your nice cream that perfect soft-serve texture.
- Adjust the Creaminess: If you prefer a thicker consistency, start with less almond milk and add more gradually until you achieve your desired texture.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to customize your nice cream by adding a splash of vanilla extract or a spoonful of peanut butter for a unique twist.
- Toppings Galore: Get creative with your toppings! Try adding fresh berries, granola, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
- Serve Immediately: This nice cream is best enjoyed right after making it. If you need to store it, put it in an airtight container and freeze for a firmer texture, but remember to let it soften a bit before serving.
- Make it a Fun Activity: Get the kids involved! Let them choose their favorite toppings to make this a fun family activity.With these tips, your Banana Split Nice Cream will be a hit at any gathering or a delightful treat just for you!
