This 4-Ingredient Mocha Nice Cream Is the Perfect Summer Treat

Summer’s finally here, which means I’m constantly digging around my freezer for coffee ice cream — not the healthiest midnight snack, I know. This time, instead of spending money on ice cream, I decided to take food I already had to make a mocha nice cream, AKA mocha-flavored banana “ice cream.” It’s healthy, delicious, and easy to make!
