Method

  1. 1

    Place the frozen bananas, creamy peanut butter, monk fruit vanilla liquid, and cold water into the bowl of a heavy-duty food processor or high-speed blender, taking about 2 minutes to measure and prepare.

  2. 2

    Pulse the mixture 5 to 6 times over 2 minutes, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a flexible spatula until the frozen fruit breaks into small, even crumbles.

  3. 3

    Blend continuously on high speed for 3 to 4 minutes, pausing halfway through to scrape the walls, until the mixture transforms from grainy crumbles into a thick, glossy, and velvety soft-serve swirl.

  4. 4

    Add the roughly chopped dark chocolate chips to the processor bowl and pulse 2 to 3 times for about 1 minute until the chocolate is evenly distributed without being pulverized.

  5. 5

    Divide the churned soft serve immediately among 4 chilled dessert cups over 1 minute and serve promptly while cold and spoonable.

Tip

For the silkiest texture, use bananas that were sliced before freezing rather than frozen whole. If you prefer a firmer, scoopable consistency, transfer the blended nice cream to an airtight container and freeze for 20 minutes before serving.
