About this recipe

Growing up, my favorite flavor of ice cream was always rocky road. I loved the cold, creamy chocolate ice cream mixed with chewy marshmallows and crunchy nuts. Back then, my family and I would go to Baskin Robins and I would always get a double scoop. In my opinion, ice cream was the perfect way to end a long hot summer day. Turns out, it still is. So, give this tasty homemade nice cream recipe a try. 

For this homemade chocolate nice cream recipe, you will want to peel, slice and freeze your bananas before adding them to the food processor. Make sure the bananas have at least 3-4 hours in the freezer before you attempt this recipe. The frozen bananas make this homemade nice cream recipe smooth and creamy.

Once the bananas are fully frozen, you will simply add all of the ingredients into the food processor and buzz until it is smooth and creamy. Freeze this nice cream for later use. Be sure to let it sit out for 5-10 minutes before scooping. This will allow the nice cream to soften a bit, making scooping much easier. This recipe makes 5 servings. Please see below for more information.
