Makes about 4-6 servings

Ingredients

• 1- 14 oz can of full fat Coconut Milk- Chilled in refrigerator for at least 12 hours
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder- sifted
• 2 bananas cut into chunks and frozen solid
• Optional 1/2 tsp vanilla extract ( I think real vanilla extract tastes like plastic so I skip it)
• Optional 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon- I love cinnamon and chocolate!

Instructions

1. Place unopened can of full fat Coconut Milk into the refrigerator and chill for at least 12 hours.  (Hint- shake the cans when you buy it and try to pick a can that is thicker and doesn't slosh around as much when you shake it)
2. Peel and cut up 2 bananas into chunks and freeze for 12 hours. 
3. Open the can of coconut milk and slowly pour into a blender. Try to keep some (2-4 TBS) of the thin liquid in the bottom of the can and don't pour that part into the bowl- save it for later. 
4. Add the cocoa powder and banana chunks in with the chilled coconut milk.
5. On high speed blend the ingredients until smooth and fluffy. If it's too thick use some of the coconut milk you saved in the can to make it a bit thinner. 
6. Serve right away. You can keep in refrigerator or you can freeze and serve like ice cream later!!!
