Mint Choc-Chip Nice Cream

I have recently discovered a fruit and veg shop that routinely has overripe (as in, virtually black-skinned) bananas for just 99 cents for a large tray. Needless to say, my freezer is now consistently stocked with frozen bananas, ready to make ‘nice cream’.

And my mint plant is going absolutely berserk, providing me with a bottomless supply of fresh mint. What’s the logical outcome of this happy confluence? Chocolate mint nice cream, of course!

Do remember to peel and chop the bananas before freezing :).

Ingredients:

3 frozen bananas
2 tbsp roughly chopped mint leaves
2 tbsp cacao powder
Plant milk, as required
1 tbsp cacao nibs
Additional mint leaves, to garnish

Method:

Blend mint, cacao powder and banana in a food processor or high-powered blender until creamy, adding a splash of plant milk if required.

Use the pulse function to stir in cacao nibs.

Serve garnished with additional mint leaves.
