Homemade Chocolate Banana Ice Cream

Serves 2

Ingredients

3 ripe bananas
¼ tsp vanilla extract

2. Once the bananas have frozen, place them into a blender/food processor along with vanilla extract, cocoa powder and a pinch of salt.
3. Blend the mixture until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. (If needed add ¼ cup of milk to reach your desired consistency).
4. Once you have reached the desired texture, scoop the mixture into a container and freeze for 30 minutes before serving.
