Description
Creamy, naturally sweet peanut butter banana ice cream made with simple ingredients like ripe bananas, milk, and honey—no refined sugar or cooking required.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Add sliced bananas, milk, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt to a blender or food processor.
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Pour mixture into a freezer-safe container and level the surface. Freeze until fully solid (about 1 day).
- Process the frozen mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions until smooth and creamy.
- If the mixture looks crumbly, add a splash of milk and reprocess until scoopable.
- Serve immediately or add desired toppings before enjoying.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for best sweetness and texture.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave for a vegan option.
- Almond, oat, or coconut milk can be used instead of whole milk.
- Add mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or cookie pieces after churning.
- Let frozen leftovers sit at room temperature before scooping to soften.
