Ingredients for Banana Cacao Ice Cream using a Blender Serves 5
Large bananas 2 pieces Cocoa powder 2 teaspoons Peanuts 100 g (for decoration) Peanut butter 2 tablespoons Fresh milk A little (to taste)
How to Choose Delicious, Sweet Bananas
- Choose bunches of bananas that are not uniformly colored (some yellow, some green) and have dark spots or deep pink spots.
- Avoid choosing bananas that are uniformly ripe with a deep yellow skin.
- Naturally ripe bananas will have a yellow stem and body. If the stem is green but the fruit is evenly yellow, it has definitely been soaked in chemicals.
- Tree-ripened bananas will have a fragrant smell and natural sweetness, soft all over. Bananas treated with chemicals will feel slightly astringent, hard, and have a bitter and sour taste.
Tools needed:
Knife, cutting board, container, blender

Blend the bananas
You should choose large, slightly soft bananas, then peel them and cut them into small slices about 1 cm thick. After cutting, place all the bananas in the freezer freezer for 1 – 2 hours to freeze the banana pieces.
Next, put all the frozen bananas into the blender and blend until smooth.

Make the ice cream
Next, add 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder into the blender and blend for a while so that the cocoa can mix evenly into the mixture.
To create a rich and aromatic flavor for the ice cream, add 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and continue blending until the mixture is very smooth.
To make the ice cream tastier, place the banana ice cream mixture into a plastic container and store it in the freezer for about 6 hours until the ice cream is firm.
After waiting, the delicious and visually appealing cold banana ice cream is ready for you.

Blend Jackfruit to Make Ice Cream
Cut 2/3 of the jackfruit and put it into the blender, blending it with 20 ml of unsweetened fresh milk (images 1, 2).

Whip the fresh cream using a mixer. Stop when the cream starts to show streaks (image 4). Note that to whip the cream quickly, you should chill the cream before whipping.
