1. Blueberry Chocolate Banana Nicecream
Ingredients:
• 2 ripe bananas, cut into chunks and frozen
• ½ cup blueberries, frozen or fresh
• 1 TBS 100% cocoa powder (I use Valrhona)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract, separated
• Recommended toppings: fresh berries and granola
Directions:
1. Combine half of the frozen banana chunks in a food processor or high-power blender with the blueberries. Pulse until it reaches a consistency similar to Dippin’ Dots, or small round chunks. Scrap down the sides of the processor and add 1 tsp of vanilla, then process or blend until smooth and ultra thick.
2. Pour out the blueberry nicecream into a bowl and set aside.
3. Add the remaining frozen bananas to the processor or blender and add the TBS of cocoa powder, pausing halfway through to scrape down the sides and add the remaining tsp of vanilla. Process until smooth and thick.
4. Pour out the chocolate nicecream into your bowl with the blueberry nicecream, and add fun toppings!
