If you are asking yourself "what can I make with frozen bananas?" The answer is this banana ice cream recipe.
Peanut butter banana ice cream with chocolate is creamy and delicious dairy-free ice cream! Just a few ingredients are needed for this vegan ice cream!
This healthy banana ice cream is a great alternative to ice cream.
Blending frozen bananas in the blender is also referred to as "nice cream", which is a take on ice cream. It's delicious and one of my favorite hot weather guilt-free treats.
There are three ingredients and all you do is put the ingredients in a blender or food processor and watch as the ingredients go from chunks to smooth and creamy resembling ice cream.
I am sure you could use almond butter and it would come out great as well. I loved it and have even topped it with a warm vegan chocolate sauce.
Ingredients:
- Frozen bananas
- Peanut butter
- Chocolate chips
How to make banana ice cream:
- Peel and freeze the bananas for several hours until frozen solid. If you have the time, freeze overnight.
2. When ready to make the banana ice cream, cut the banana into slices.
3. To a blender, add the sliced bananas, peanut butter, and chocolate chips and blend until smooth.
4. Pour the ice cream mixture into a pan and smooth the top. I like a loaf pan. Freeze this mixture for a few hours to get scoopable ice cream. Or serve right away if you like soft-serve type ice cream.
6. After freezing for a few hours, scoop banana ice cream into a serving dish or cone and spread a thin layer of peanut butter, and top with extra chocolate chips. Enjoy!
Look at how creamy and delicious this banana ice cream is!
This ice cream is delicious in a dish or cone.
Storage: Store in the freezer and try to consume within a week.

The banana isn't vegan though is it? With it having a shellfish pesticide sprayed on bananas, doesn't seem very vegan.....
Christine says
I had not heard of this spray so I checked with my grocery store. The spray is not used on the bananas I purchase. If this is a concern, my best advice is to check with your grocer to make sure the spray is not used. Thanks!
