How to Make Chocolate Chip Banana “Ice Cream” Cups
- Freeze the Bananas: Slice your bananas and place them on a lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours (overnight is best).
- Slightly Thaw: Remove from the freezer and let sit for about 5 minutes to soften slightly.
- Blend Until Creamy: Place the bananas in a food processor (or blender) and blend until creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. The mixture will likely go through phases (crumbly, sticky) until it becomes smooth and creamy. Be patient!
- Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in 1/2 cup of the dark chocolate chips.
- Fill Muffin Pan: Scoop the banana mixture into a greased muffin pan. Fill almost to the top and sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips.
- Final Freeze: Freeze for 1-2 hours, or until they are firm enough to remove from the muffin pan without breaking.
- Enjoy! Let sit for just a few minutes before removing from the muffin tin. Enjoy!
Tips and Variations
- Ripe Bananas are Key: The riper the bananas, the sweeter the “ice cream” will be.
- Add-Ins: Get creative! Try adding peanut butter, chopped nuts, cocoa powder, or a dash of cinnamon.
- Make it Vegan: Ensure your dark chocolate chips are vegan.
- Storage: Store leftover “ice cream” cups in the freezer in an airtight container.
