Peppermint Everything
The holidays mean peppermint EVERYTHING in the Fit Foodie Kitchen >> Peppermint Fat Bombs, Peppermint Chia Seed Pudding, Homemade Peppermint Patties, the list goes on! We know you guys love banana nice cream SO MUCH because they are some of our most popular pins on Pinterest. And for that, we thank you because we love it too! Since it’s that time of year…we thought we’d whip together a Chocolate Peppermint-flavored banana nice cream recipe to suit your needs this holiday!What you Need
The basis of all of our nice cream recipes are frozen bananas. Then, to make each recipe unique, you add in flavor combinations! Here’s what you need for this recipe:- Frozen banana
- cocoa powder
- maple syrup
- peppermint extract
- almond milk
- mini chocolate chips
To Freeze or Not to Freeze
There are 2 ways to serve your banana nice cream. One way is more like soft-serve and the other is more like classic ice cream. In my opinion, it all depends on how much you’re craving nice cream! If you can wait, I say freeze it for the extra hour or two, but if you need a quick fix, eat it right out of the food processor. Soft Serve: serve immediately after food processing for a creamy, soft-serve like ice cream! Ice Cream: transfer nice cream into a bread pan and freeze for around 1 to 2 hours to get a classic ice-cream like nice cream (pictured).Topping Ideas
We’re all about the holiday cheer, which is why we chose to put Christmas colored chocolate on top of our nice cream. To each their own! Here are more topping ideas for you:- raw nuts
- nut butter
- shredded coconut
- peppermint candies
- mini chocolate chips
