Steps

  1. Line a tray with parchment and spread the banana coins in a single layer so they don't touch.
  2. Freeze the banana until solid, about 4 hours.
  3. While the banana freezes, brew the espresso and chill it in the fridge; keep the skim milk cold.
  4. Make the crumble: toss the pecans with the cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
  5. In a small cup, whisk the unsweetened cocoa powder into the chilled espresso with the maple syrup, vanilla and salt until smooth to make a mocha paste.
  6. Put the frozen banana, the cold skim milk and the mocha paste in a blender.
  7. Blend on low, stopping to scrape down and press the banana toward the blades, until thick and smooth like soft-serve, 2 to 4 minutes.
  8. Scoop the soft-serve into 4 chilled bowls, divided evenly.
  9. Top each bowl with a quarter of the pecan crumble and a quarter of the chocolate chips, and serve right away.
