Two-Ingredient Banana Peanut Butter Ice Cream
Description
Two-Ingredient Banana Peanut Butter Ice Cream is made by freezing ripe banana slices until firm, then blending them until creamy. The inclusion of peanut butter enriches the flavor and texture, providing a nutty contrast to the natural sweetness of the bananas. This preparation yields a soft, spoonable dessert that can be served immediately for a gelato-like texture or frozen further for a firmer consistency. The straightforward method uses just two key ingredients and requires only a food processor or powerful blender to achieve a smooth, treatable ice cream.
Ingredients
- 4 banana large, very ripe
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
Instructions
- Peel bananas and slice into 1/2 inch discs. Arrange banana slices in a single layer on a large plate or baking sheet. Freeze for 1-2 hours.
- Place the banana slices in a food processor or powerful blender. Puree banana slices, scraping down the bowl as needed. Puree until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Add the peanut butter and puree to combine. Serve immediately for soft-serve ice cream consistency. If you prefer harder ice cream, place in the freezer for a few hours and then serve.
- *Note-if you have a hard time creating a creamy consistency, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to help puree the banana slices. Make sure you use a powerful food processor or blender!
