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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!
-
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! 🍌🍫🍦✨
