I scream! You scream! We all scream for nice cream!! Wait a minute, that’s not how that goes. But why can’t we turn a classic into a modern-day non-dairytale? See what I did there?!

Okay, fine… I’ve had maybe a few too many scoops of nice cream and can no longer think like a calm, relaxed adult.

But who cares, because it’s summer!! We can still enjoy the last bits of summer, and perhaps make it feel just a bit longer with today’s chocolate nice cream recipe. 🙂

You in? Let’s make this! 

How to Make Chocolate Nice Cream

It’s super duper easy to make today’s nice cream recipe. Yep, it’s super and it’s duper. Easy. Lol. Check out the simple steps below:

Add Bananas & Blend

Add bananas to a food processor and blend until crumbly. This is the simple banana ice cream mixture.

Add & Blend Again

Now, add in maple syrup and vanilla to increase the deliciousness of your nice cream. Blend everything until smooth and creamy. Here is your basic nice cream mixture.

Add Cacao Powder

Now, add in your cacao powder. Blend it all together until the cacao is well incorporated. You just made chocolate nice cream! 

Enjoy

If you like your nice cream super soft, go ahead and enjoy immediately. If not, chill until firm and enjoy the best nice cream recipe ever!

Testimonials

Amy says, “This recipe is delicious. I have such a sweet tooth that it makes dieting hard, but I think this might be my saviour!”

Ivana says, “Made the recipe exactly as described and it turned out perfect! So freaking good too!”

Michaela says, “I just found your blog and I love it. I tried your Dark Chocolate Nice Cream and it is delicious!”

How to Store Your Nice Cream

Freezer

Store your nice cream in a reusable ice cream container for up to 1 week. Just make sure to thaw it for a few minutes before enjoying. I don’t recommend making your chocolate nice cream too far in advance as it’s made with whole ingredients and won’t stay super fresh and yummy for longer than 1 week. 😉

Velvety smooth, rich dark chocolate nice cream made with just 4 simple ingredients—the best nice cream recipe you’ll ever have.

  2. Add maple syrup and vanilla. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bin as necessary. This will take a few minutes.
