Ingredients You’ll Need
- Bananas – Freeze the ripest bananas you can. They should be sweet enough so you won’t need to use any sweetener.
- Cocoa powder – Use your favorite, whether it’s raw cacao, regular cocoa, or Dutch chocolate. This batch was processed with Dutch cocoa, which makes it ultra dark and chocolatey, but typically, I like to use raw cacao powder.
- Splash of non-dairy milk or water – This can be any type of plant-based milk or Vegan Cream, preferably unsweetened; this will help get the frozen mixture moving.
How To Make No Ice Maker Banana Ice Cream
- Simply place 2 – 3 frozen bananas in the bowl of your food processor or high-speed blender, along with 1 tablespoon of cacao powder, and blend until creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides every so often. Takes only 3 to 5 minutes.
- Serve right away with sliced fruit, cacao nibs, nuts or seeds. Enjoy often!
Top Tips
- Add protein. Try adding 2 – 4 tablespoons of nut butter, such as peanut, almond, cashew, or sunflower butter, for a boost of protein. It will also make it ultra-creamy!
- Freeze some for later. Banana ice cream can be stored in a covered container and kept in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Notes
A splash or two of milk or water will help the mixture move a little better when blending. For completely raw, use homemade plant milk, or a splash of water is fine too!
To Freeze: Keep this ice cream in the freezer by storing in an airtight freezer safe container. Freeze for at least six hours or overnight for a hardened ice cream, let thaw 10 min or so before scooping. Double this recipe and freeze for convenience.
Keep those bananas! Instead of throwing out bananas I always freeze them for making smoothies later and this will be a new reason to pull out a frozen banana or two. Doesn’t get much simpler that this.
