Ingredients
  • 2 large Frozen Bananas (sliced)
  • 2-3 tablespoons Nutella
  • 1-2 tablespoons Milk (dairy or non-dairy)

Preparing the Bananas

Slice ripe bananas into 1-inch thick pieces. Lay the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until completely solid. This is crucial for achieving the right creamy texture.

Blending Process

Place the frozen banana slices, Nutella, and 1 tablespoon of milk into a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add the remaining tablespoon of milk. Avoid over-blending.

Serving and Enjoying

Serve immediately for a soft-serve consistency. For a firmer ice cream, transfer the nice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 30 minutes to an hour before serving. Top with extra Nutella, chopped hazelnuts, or your favorite toppings.

Nutrition Facts (Estimated per serving)

Calories: Approximately 400-450 kcal (depending on the amount of Nutella used). Please note that Nutella is high in sugar and fat, so this dessert should be enjoyed in moderation. Consider using a lower-sugar hazelnut spread for a healthier option.

Important Nutrition Considerations

This recipe is not suitable for individuals with nut allergies due to the hazelnut content in Nutella. Adjust the amount of Nutella used to manage sugar intake. While this is a healthier alternative to traditional ice cream, it still contains calories and sugar. Always consider portion size.

FAQ

  • Can I use a different chocolate hazelnut spread?

    Yes, you can use any chocolate hazelnut spread you prefer. Keep in mind that the flavor and sweetness may vary slightly depending on the brand.
  • What kind of milk is best to use?

    Any kind of milk will work, including dairy milk (such as whole milk, 2%, or skim milk) or non-dairy alternatives like almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk. The choice depends on your dietary preferences and any allergies or intolerances you may have.
  • My nice cream is too icy. What did I do wrong?

    The most common cause of icy nice cream is not freezing the bananas long enough. Make sure they are completely solid before blending. Also, avoid over-blending, as this can cause the mixture to melt and become icy. If it's already icy, try adding a little more milk and blending again briefly.
