Banana & Chocolate Chip “Ice Cream” Cups 🍌🍫 By @lindsay.keosayian Two ingredients is all it takes to make these frozen treats and they literally taste just like ice cream! So creamy and the perfect dessert!🍦 You’ll need: 6-7 ripe bananas 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips (or chips of choice) 1. Slice your bananas and place them on a lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours (I froze mine overnight). 2. Remove from the freezer and let sit for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. 3. Place the bananas in a food processor (or blender) and blend until creamy. 4. Stir in 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips. 5. Scoop the banana mixture into a muffin pan. Fill almost to the top and sprinkle additional chocolate chips on them. 6. Freeze for 1-2 hours until they are firm enough to remove from the muffin pan without breaking them. I used a butter knife to pop them out. 7. Let sit for just a few minutes and enjoy! 💛 . . . . #bananaicecream #banananicecream #frozenbanana #frozenbananas #frozenbananaicecream #chocolatechipbanana #healthyicecream #nicecreamrecipes #healthyicecreamrecipe #frozendessert #frozendesserts #healthydesserts #healthydessertrecipes #2ingredients #twoingredients
