You can easily prepare them the day before; we usually keep a stock in the freezer just to make a quick, healthy ice cream perfect for the whole family.
In a bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream and whip it well with an electric whisk.
Transfer the still frozen bananas to the blender and blend them well to obtain a cream.
In a bowl, put the blended bananas, add the cream, and with upward movements, incorporate it into the mixture. Finally, add the chocolate chips.
Place the bowl in the freezer for about 1 hour to solidify well.
Serve your ice cream in two cups, and if you wish, you can decorate with chocolate shavings or whipped cream.
For this recipe, you can also use whole yogurt instead of cream, the final result does not change; in this case, the preparation is lighter and less caloric.
Curiosity:
Do you know the difference between freezing and deep freezing?
Freezing a food means bringing it to a temperature of 0°F gradually.
Deep freezing is a very rapid freezing process that is achieved by bringing the product’s temperature to -22°F to -40°F within a few minutes.
The temperature of deep-frozen foods must be maintained at all points of the product at a value equal to or lower than -0.4°F.
