Chocolate Banana Fudge

Rich and fudgy — frozen chocolate banana goodness that tastes like ice cream but is made with just 4 simple ingredients.

Ingredients

• 2 ripe bananas
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1 cup chocolate almond milk
• 2 Tbsp maple syrup

Toppings

• Crushed peanuts on top (before freezing)
• Mini chocolate chips

Meal prep tip: Invest in a good silicone popsicle mold — they release much easier than plastic ones. For easy removal, run warm water over the outside of the mold for 10 seconds.
