Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 medium bananas (about 450 grams)
- ⅓ cup chocolate hazelnut spread (such as Nutiva or Nutella)
Preparation Ingredients:
- Optional toppings as desired
Instructions
- Peel ripe bananas, ensuring no green or brown spots remain. Chop into uniform segments and arrange on a flat freezing surface. Freeze completely until solid, approximately 8-10 hours.
- Remove frozen banana chunks from freezer and let sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to slightly soften. This prevents strain on blending equipment.
- Transfer frozen banana segments into a powerful food processor or high-performance blender. Add chocolate hazelnut spread to the frozen bananas.
- Pulse and blend the mixture, periodically scraping down sides with a silicone spatula. Continue processing until the texture becomes uniformly smooth and creamy, resembling soft serve ice cream.
- For immediate consumption, scoop the nice cream directly into serving bowls. The consistency will be light and airy, similar to gelato.
- For a more traditional ice cream texture, transfer the blended mixture into a sealed freezer-safe container. Allow to firm up for 6-8 hours until scoopable.
- Optional elegant finishing: Create a quick chocolate drizzle by whisking chocolate hazelnut spread with hot water until a thin, glossy sauce forms. Drizzle artfully over the nice cream just before serving.
Notes
- Cool down with this creamy, guilt-free dessert that transforms two simple ingredients into a magical frozen treat.
- Freezing bananas overnight creates the ultimate smooth base, turning ordinary fruit into a luxurious dessert without any fancy equipment.
- Customize your nice cream by experimenting with different toppings like chopped nuts, sprinkles, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
