Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream
Chocolate peanut butter ice cream is a decadent fun-to-eat treat. This ice cream recipe is made with frozen bananas as the base to keep it dairy free and guilt free!
Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen bananas chopped into 1/2 inch pieces, about 4 bananas
- 1/4-1/3 cup cacao powder use 1/3 for a dark chocolate flavor, can sub cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
- large pinch sea salt
Optional Add-Ins
- Raw cacao nibs
- Healthy peanut butter cups
- Chocolate chips
- Small chunks of homemade cookie dough
- Dye free sprinkles
Instructions
- Chop the frozen bananas into 1/2 inch rounds. Place them into a high speed blender like a Vitamix, along with the peanut butter, cacao powder, and salt.
- Blend on high, scraping down the sides of the blender a time or two. If your blender is struggling, add a drizzle of almond or coconut milk to help it blend.
- Blend until thick and creamy.
- Eat right away for a soft serve ice cream (my favorite!), or place into a loaf pan and freeze for 1-2 hours for a more scoop-able ice cream.
