• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2–4 tablespoons plant-based milk (as needed for blending)
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

Step 1 — Prepare the frozen bananas

1. Slice ripe bananas and freeze them until completely solid. This creates the creamy base for the nice cream.

Step 3 — Blend until creamy
