Notes

*optional: Straining Greek yogurt or cottage cheese can make the ice cream texture more creamy and thick. You can do so using a cheese cloth mesh or a few layers of paper towel.
**Mixing chocolate with peanut butter or coconut oil can reduce cracking once they firm up.
** *Leave the bananas chunky or smooth, your choice!
