Once the bananas are frozen place them into a high-speed blender along with the cocoa powder, maple syrup, and peppermint extract.

Add a tablespoon of almond milk and then blend on high for 1-2 minutes. Add more almond milk as needed in order to get things smooth like soft serve ice cream.

Once you've reached the desired texture, give it a taste and adjust the peppermint extract as needed. We suggest adding 1/8 teaspoon at a time.

Add mini chocolate chips and pulse the nice cream a few times to mix.

Option to eat nice cream immediately if you like the soft serve texture or to transfer into a bread tin and freeze for 1-2 hours if you like more of the traditional ice cream texture.

Serve with more mini chocolate chips.
