Tips & Warnings
Make sure the banana used in this recipe is very ripe, as a young banana will lead to a drink that isn't as creamy as it should be.
To make a non-alcoholic chocolate banana daiquiri, simply omit the white rum and banana liqueur and replace them with half and half cream and a few extra slices of banana.
