Notes
A single-serving recipe is 1 banana + 2 tablespoons cocoa powder + 1 tablespoon almond butter.Banana ice cream does not freeze very well. Ideally, it's best to either make it and eat it right away or freeze it for no more than 3-4 hours. If you have leftovers, freeze them in a small container but know that the edges of the ice cream will soften while the inside stays very solid. It makes it a little tough to eat, but it is still tasty.
