Chocolate and Banana Frappe

 Ingredients: - 1 ripe banana - 300 ml rice milk / coconut milk (the original recipe uses rice milk) - 80 g high-quality grated chocolate - 1/2 vanilla pod

To prepare a delicious and refreshing drink, we will start by heating rice milk or coconut milk, depending on personal preferences and food intolerances. Choosing coconut milk adds an exotic touch, while rice milk offers a slightly lighter alternative. In a saucepan, we place the chosen milk over medium heat and add a vanilla pod, cut lengthwise, which will infuse the drink with its enticing flavors. It is important to stir occasionally to ensure the milk does not stick to the bottom of the saucepan. After about 5-7 minutes, when the milk is well heated but not hot, we remove the vanilla pod, being careful to let the flavors unfold.

The next step is to add the chocolate. Choose a good quality chocolate with a high cocoa content to bring a rich and deep flavor to the drink. Break the chocolate into small pieces and add it to the warm milk. Stir gently, allowing the chocolate to melt completely into the aromatic liquid. This will create a creamy and decadent base for our drink. Once the chocolate is dissolved, we let the mixture cool slightly so we can proceed to the next step.

Once we have a smooth and cool mixture, we transfer the liquid to the blender jar. Here, we add a ripe banana, cut into pieces, which will not only add a delicious taste but also a creamy texture to the drink. We blend the ingredients on high speed until we achieve a frothy and airy composition. The sweet aroma of the banana will perfectly combine with the chocolate and vanilla, creating an irresistible mix.

After we have obtained the desired drink, we transfer it to an airtight container and place it in the refrigerator to chill well. This step is essential, as we want to enjoy a cold and refreshing drink. Once the drink has cooled sufficiently, it is time to serve it.

For an attractive appearance and an unforgettable gastronomic experience, it is recommended to decorate the drink with pieces of chocolate. These will not only enhance the presentation but also add an extra flavor. You can also add a few banana slices or a mint leaf for a contrast of colors. Enjoy this cold delicacy, perfect for warm days or simply to indulge in something special!
