Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana "Ice Cream" Recipe by Tasty

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana "Ice Cream" is a creamy, indulgent, and healthier alternative to traditional ice cream! It's made with just a few simple ingredients and is a great option for a sweet treat. 🍌🍫🥜


Ingredients (Makes about 4 servings):

  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (or milk chocolate chips, if preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (to melt the chocolate)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • A pinch of sea salt (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Bananas:

    • Peel the bananas and slice them into rounds.
    • Place the banana slices on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze them for 2-3 hours, or until completely frozen.
  2. Make the Chocolate Peanut Butter Sauce:

    • In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, chocolate chips, and coconut oil.
    • Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Blend the Banana "Ice Cream":

    • Once the banana slices are frozen, transfer them to a food processor or high-speed blender.
    • Blend until the bananas break down into a creamy consistency, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. You may need to stop and scrape the mixture a few times.
  4. Add Peanut Butter:

    • Once the banana mixture is smooth, add the peanut butter (and vanilla extract, if using).
    • Blend again until the peanut butter is fully incorporated into the banana mixture.
  5. Serve:

    • Scoop the banana peanut butter "ice cream" into bowls.
    • Drizzle the melted chocolate peanut butter sauce over the top of the "ice cream".
    • Optionally, sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt for a salted caramel flavor boost!
  6. Optional Freezing:

    • If you prefer a firmer texture, you can freeze the "ice cream" for an additional 30-60 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Add-ins: You can mix in chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or crushed graham crackers for added texture.
  • Vegan Version: Use dairy-free chocolate and peanut butter for a vegan-friendly treat.
  • Flavor Variations: Try adding cocoa powder for extra chocolate flavor, or a handful of strawberries for a fruity twist.

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana "Ice Cream" is a delightful and guilt-free dessert that's quick to make and satisfying to enjoy! 🍌🍫🍦✨
