Ingredients

4 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced

1 cup full-fat coconut milk

1 teaspoon pure peppermint extract

1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, depending on sweetness preference)

1 cup dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips

A handful of fresh mint leaves, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Freeze the Bananas: Place the sliced bananas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until completely solid.

Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the frozen banana slices, coconut milk, peppermint extract, and maple syrup if using. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary.

Add Chocolate Chips: Once the banana mixture is smooth, fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Chill & Firm Up: Transfer the nice cream mixture to a lidded container and spread it evenly. For a firmer texture, place it back in the freezer for at least 1-2 hours.

Serve: Scoop the nice cream into bowls, garnishing with fresh mint leaves if desired. Enjoy immediately or store leftovers with a tight lid back in the freezer.
