Very good. I used medium size bananas ... Next time I will add more of the other ingredients - if I used smaller bananas I think it would be less than 2 servings :). Updated 5/2015: Last several times I've made this it turned out beyond very good. I used almonds most recently and sprinkled coconut on top. Amazing. Thank you,

This is very good indeed. I like my chocolate sweeter, so I added a little pure maple syrup. I chose walnuts because I don't care for hazelnuts. I will be making this again.

Delicious and very creamy. It's a toss up for me as to which is better - this recipe or your banana walnut recipe. Both are great!

This was excellent. Good chocolate flavor. Nice consistency. I made it without hazelnuts as I am allergic (I know, bummer!). Try this ice cream.

I made this last night. It's great! I didn't want wait for it to freeze, so added 5 ice cubes to make a nice milk shake. Even my boyfriend liked it with just the date sweetener.

I find I don't need the sweetness of the dates when I use bananas that are really ripe.

I used one large ripe banana and added a handful of frozen blackberries. Substituted walnuts and cut the cacao down to one heaped teaspoon as it makes me speedy! Left out the milk and used a food processor. Enough for two parfait glass serves. Yum!

We had this for dessert tonight, and it was truly delicious, and felt decadent to eat! We loved it.
I still have trouble getting the hang of blending completely with my Vitamix. I still end up with "chunks." Any suggestions?

Perhaps soak the nuts for a few hours and then blend.

I thought the cocoa taste was a bit strong. I don't know why, but I'm not a huge fan. My husband hated it...but he doesn't really like chocolate ice cream anyway.

I have made this and banana walnut "ice cream" a half a dozen times. I double or tripple the recipe as the hardest part is getting the last couple scoops out of the Vitamix. Chop the bananas a bit before freezing, they freeze faster and blend faster. You can make variations. Use different nuts. Some pestatios and a bit of flavoring etc. I also freeze portions in small individual containers - not quite as good, yet still great!

I freeze them also in small Containers. Then I put them in the microwave for 30 seconds on about 70% power and they come out just right!

Excellent for a chocolate fix! I made it exactly as written, but substituted walnuts. Next time, I'll soak the dates (chopped) and let the bananas thaw a few minutes to make it easier to blend. This is definitely a recipe I'll make again. My husband loved it too!

Excellent! It satisfied my craving for a Wendy’s Frosty! I added two Tbls of peanut butter to make it decadent!

11/10/23; this recipe is in the fall 2023 detox: I used walnuts, and doubled the soy milk to 2/3 cup, then put it onto the Ninja Creamy cup and let it freeze overnight; then I ran it through the Creamy machine to make ice cream, not the soft serve version strait from the Vitamix. Delicious!

Do I understand correctly.. you put back into the freezer after you blend to firm it up more? How long before it hardens too much?

I don’t freeze it. We eat it right away. With the frozen bananas, it’s firm enough for me. Love it. You might try the mango banana ice cream too. It’s equally wonderful

I never freeze it again. Mine always comes out like soft-serve or even a little harder - but I also do not use any liquid in it. Just the bananas, chocolate and sometimes a blob of peanut butter. It's plenty sweet with just the bananas. One of my favorites. I also sometimes add things like a little unsweetened coconut or some kind of nut, but just the chocolate and bananas are delicious on their own. Oops, forgot, I also make it in my food processor, since I don't have a good blender.

Does the nutritional information refers (number of calories and so on) refer to each serving or to all of the ingredients?

This is one of my two favorite desserts, the other being Mango Banana Pecan ice cream. I’ve made this one with hazelnuts and pecans. They’re equally delicious. I love it that they’re both so good and also healthy. Wonderful!

Just had dental work and couldn't eat anything solid right now, so I figured I would try making this. OMG, it was delicious and the cold helped soothe the pain. I used walnuts and put the Vitamix on high until everything was blended to perfection. Thank you!

I like to "clean the blender" with almond milk after making this to have some chocolate milk with my breakfast or lunch the next day. Luscious.

I wonder if baked sweet potato would work? Or yam? (I still don't know what is the difference between the two, but you could experiment with different types).

I just made this for my family who are proud dairy farmers, they were mind blown, especially my 86yr old grandma, whoever made this recipe deserves a gold medal.

This is a go-to recipe for me and somehow I just one-upped it today. I only had 1.5 frozen bananas so I added 3 small strawberries to make up for the missing 1/2 banana and WOW that added strawberry flavor really makes this nice cream pop. Highly recommend people try it!
