Ingredients
For the Nice-Cream

For the Chocolate Sauce
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Optional Toppings
- Chopped raw almonds
- Cacao nibs
How to Make Cacao Nice-Cream
Step 1: Prep the Bananas
Cut bananas into 3–4 pieces and place in an airtight container.
Freeze overnight (or until completely frozen).
Step 2: Blend to Creamy Perfection
Add frozen bananas to a high-speed blender or food processor and blitz until you reach a soft ice-cream consistency.
👉 Tip: If your blender struggles, add a small splash of coconut milk to help things along.
Add the ceremonial cacao and blend again until rich and smooth.
Step 3: Adjust to Taste
Taste and adjust:
- Prefer it sweeter? Add a dash of maple syrup
- Love dark chocolate vibes? Add a little more cacao
Blend again until perfectly creamy.
Step 4: Make the Chocolate Sauce
Combine maple syrup and cacao in the blender and blitz until smooth.
How to Serve
Serve immediately as a soft-serve nice-cream or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 1 hour until firm.
If frozen solid, let it sit at room temperature for around 10 minutes before serving for the perfect scoopable texture.
Finish with a sprinkle of almonds and cacao nibs for crunch.
Why Use Ceremonial Cacao? 🤎
Ceremonial cacao takes this recipe from “healthy dessert” to deeply nourishing ritual food.
Unlike regular cocoa, ceremonial cacao is:
- Minimally processed
- Naturally rich in antioxidants
- Supportive of mood, energy, and heart health
It delivers that deep chocolate flavour without the heaviness.
