Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas, sliced

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (for topping)

1/4 cup crushed nuts (optional, for garnish)

Pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a powerful blender, combine the sliced bananas, cocoa powder, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend on high speed until the mixture is silky smooth and creamy. Ensure there are no banana lumps remaining.

    Taste Test: After blending, taste the mixture for sweetness. If you desire a sweeter flavor, add a little more maple syrup. Give it another quick blend for a few seconds to incorporate the additional sweetness.

      Prepare the Cups: Using a muffin tin or silicone cup mold, evenly pour the luscious chocolate banana mixture into each cup, filling them approximately 3/4 full to allow room for expansion during freezing.

        Add Toppings: Delicately sprinkle the dark chocolate chips on top of each cup. If you’re opting for the crushed nuts, add a generous sprinkle to enhance the texture and flavor profile of your treats.

          Freeze: Carefully place the muffin tin or silicone molds in the freezer. Allow them to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the cups are completely solid to the touch.

            Serve: Once frozen, gently remove the cups from the mold. For metal tins, you may warm the outside slightly with warm water to aid in removal. Serve immediately and indulge in your creamy frozen delights!

              Optional Decor: For a beautiful presentation, drizzle some melted dark chocolate over the top of each cup just before serving to add an elegant touch.
