Why I Love WW Chocolate Ice Cream
I love this Weight Watchers Chocolate Ice Cream because it’s a simple, healthy treat that satisfies my sweet tooth without any guilt. Sometimes called banana ice cream or “nice cream,” it’s naturally sweet from bananas and has all the flavor and creamy texture of traditional ice cream. Whether I enjoy it straight from a bowl, make mini ice cream sandwiches, or even turn it into bars, it’s a convenient, homemade alternative to store-bought options—fewer ingredients, no extra trip to the store, and still totally delicious!
Enjoy!

How to Make Weight Watchers Ice Cream
This is a super easy recipe–the most time consuming part is the time it takes to freeze!
Step 1: Add sliced frozen bananas, almond milk, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract to a food processor or blender.
Step 2: Blend on high for about one minute until everything is creamy and smooth.
Step 3: Pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe dish and freeze for an hour or until the ice cream has hardened.
This time varies based on your freezer and the container you use to freeze.
Step 4: Keep the ice cream in the freezer for any time you want a quick, healthy dessert!

Recipe Tips
- Slice your bananas thinly and freeze them on a cookie sheet for about 30 minutes before adding to the food processor. Sliced bananas freeze faster than whole bananas and help you enjoy your ice cream immediately.
- Start with a smaller amount of cocoa powder and adjust to taste.
- You can swap in any nut milk you like—just double-check your Weight Watchers points.
- Want to get creative? Top with chocolate chips, peanut butter, or a dollop of Cool Whip—but remember to recalculate points if you do.
- For a vanilla version, simply skip the cocoa powder; you’ll still get the natural sweetness of the bananas.
- If you’re a coffee lover, try my Healthy Coffee Ice Cream.

So happy to find this!! I’ve been looking for ways to use the frozen sliced Bananas I keep from the too ripe ones I don’t use other than smoothies. Also, I absolutely love ice cream (are we all screaming now), but I’m diabetic and can’t have sugar. The sugar free store ones are too expensive. $4.79, I don’t think so!! Thanks for this, just finished licking the bowl, ehm…I mean making it. Can’t wait to take it out tonight!!

Never mind I found all the ingredients and measurements🤦♀️
I keep looking, but I can’t find the measurements for each of the four ingredients🤷♀️
Very good, I used 2 teaspoons coco powder instead of 4 and added a tablespoon coconut cream…a keeper..
I can’t have any nut milks or soy. Can I use skim milk?
You can :)
I have overripe bananas that i keep in the freezer for banana bread. Would these work?
That would be perfect!
Wonder how this would be made with all frozen strawberries instead of banana and omitting chocolate?
Sounds tasty! Let us know if you try it and how it turns out :)
Can you use unsweetened soy milk instead of almond milk? I can’t have almond.
You absolutely can!
i made this today. Fabulous.
I am going to try sugar free chocolate pudding mix instead of unsweetened cocoa. Thoughts? TIA!
I’ve never tried it that way -let me know if you like it!
Hi, I see that it’s 1 point for all plans but for what serving size? A cup ?
A serving is half of the recipe. This can change a bit based on the size of your bananas.
