Serves: 12-15 mini muffin sized cups
Ingredients
  • 1 to 1 and ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 large frozen banana
  • 2 teaspoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
Instructions
  1. Melt ½ cup of chocolate chips in the microwave or on the stove, and stir in another ½ cup to temper the chocolate (the extra chips will still melt, but reduce the temperature of the chocolate).
  2. Using the back of a spoon, smush a tablespoon of melted chocolate into mini muffin liners or mini silicon baking cups- making sure to cover the sides. You should end up with 12-15 and some extra chocolate for a later step.
  3. Place these in the freezer to set for 15-20 minutes.
  4. Using a blender or food processor, blend the frozen banana with a bit of milk until it is the consistency of ice cream. Add cocoa powder and continue blending until combined. You can add some sweetener in as well if your banana wasn't extremely ripe.
  5. Spoon the banana ice cream into the frozen chocolate cups up to the line of chocolate and freeze until hard (about 20 minutes).
  6. Finally, reheat any extra melted chocolate you might have from the first step (and add additional chocolate chips if needed, ¼ cup at a time).
  7. Spoon the chocolate over the banana layer and spread it quickly- the chocolate will set immediately so try to connect it with the bottom chocolate layer to form a casing around the banana ice cream.
  8. Freeze for another 5 minutes or so until set, and then serve from the freezer.
