Stockpile bananas, keeping a rotation of green and ripe bananas, freezing them when too ripe to eat.

Peel the bananas and break them into smaller chunks, quartering them or slicing into smaller pieces if needed.

Store the banana chunks in bags and freeze for at least 12 hours.

In a Vitamix, combine 2 tablespoons of raw cacao powder and about 1 cup of nut milk.

Pre-mix the milk and cacao powder on the lowest setting.

Bang the frozen banana chunks against the counter to break them up a bit before adding them to the blender.

Start blending on low, gradually increasing the speed, then hit turbo, using the tamper aggressively to mix.

Blend until you achieve the texture of soft serve ice cream.

Divide the nice cream into bowls if sharing, or eat directly from the container.

Sprinkle with cacao nibs if desired.
