Base
- 2 cups frozen bananas (about 3 medium bananas, peeled and frozen)
Mix-ins
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- Prepare Frozen Bananas: Peel ripe bananas and freeze them for at least 2 hours until fully frozen. This step ensures a creamy texture when blended.
- Blend Bananas: Place the frozen bananas into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until the bananas reach a smooth, creamy consistency resembling soft serve ice cream. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides occasionally.
- Add Cocoa: Add the cocoa powder to the blended bananas and pulse a few times to fully incorporate the chocolate flavor evenly throughout the soft serve.
- Mix or Top: You can either gently fold in the sliced strawberries and peanut butter into the banana soft serve or use them as toppings when serving. Both ways create a delicious banana split-inspired dessert.
- Serve Immediately: Spoon the banana soft serve into bowls or dessert cups and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better texture.
- For a creamier texture, you can add a splash of milk or plant-based milk while blending.
- Adjust the amount of cocoa powder and peanut butter based on your preferred taste intensity.
- Serve immediately as the soft serve can melt quickly.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan-friendly.
