Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 4 medium bananas, fully ripe, about 400 grams
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk, or milk of choice
- ½ cup powdered peanut butter, such as PB Fit or PB2 brand
Optional Sweetener
- 2-3 Tbsp monk fruit sweetener (optional; can be omitted if using fully ripened bananas)
Instructions
- Freeze Bananas: Peel the bananas and freeze them until they are completely solid, which usually takes about 8 hours. This step is crucial to achieve the creamy ice cream texture.
- Slice Frozen Bananas: Once frozen, slice the bananas into approximately 1-inch pieces to make blending easier and more even.
- Blend Ingredients: Place the frozen banana slices, almond milk, and powdered peanut butter in a food processor or a high-powered blender equipped with a tamper. Blend until smooth and creamy, using the tamper to push ingredients toward the blades as needed.
- Taste and Sweeten: Perform a quick taste test. If desired, blend in 2-3 tablespoons of monk fruit sweetener or your preferred sweetener to adjust sweetness.
- Serve or Store: Serve the nice cream immediately for the best texture, or store it in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Using a food processor typically yields the best texture, but a high-powered blender with a tamper can also work well.
- If using a blender without a tamper, add an additional 2-4 tablespoons of almond milk to help the blending process.
- Fully ripened bananas provide natural sweetness, so additional sweetener is optional. For sweeter ice cream, up to ¼ cup of granulated or liquid sweetener can be used.
- For a lower-calorie sweetening option, use sugar-free sweeteners like monk fruit or stevia, adjusting based on package instructions.
- This recipe is dairy-free, vegan, and gluten-free by default, making it suitable for many dietary preferences.
