Put your frozen banana slices into a blender and start to blend them. You want to liquify them, so add whole milk in, a little at a time, until thick. Once it’s thick add cocoa powder along with a little more milk and blend until creamy.

Push the bowl down into the ice so it’s nice and cozy, and start whisking your mixture. Whisk for 10 minutes while scraping down the sides when you can. Once you’ve whisked for 10 minutes place a clean kitchen towel over the whole mixture and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Repeat this 3 more times.
