Instructions

1
Take the bananas out of the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 2–3 minutes. This will make blending easier and ensure a creamier texture without adding too much liquid.
2
Place the frozen banana slices and cocoa powder into a blender. Blend on low speed, stopping several times to scrape down the sides of the container with a silicone spatula, until the bananas break down into a coarse mixture.
3
Add coconut yogurt for creaminess, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Blend again on high speed until the mixture becomes completely smooth and resembles soft-serve ice cream (about 1–2 minutes). If the blades aren't turning, add a tablespoon of milk, but be sparing so the ice cream doesn't become too runny.
4
Serve immediately for a "soft-serve" texture, or place in the freezer for 20–30 minutes if you want scoops that can be shaped with an ice cream scoop.
