Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter (no sugar added)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened coconut cream
Instructions
Peel and slice the ripe bananas, then place them in a sealed container or zip-lock bag and freeze for at least 2 hours or until completely frozen.
In a blender, combine the frozen banana slices, unsweetened almond milk, creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, sea salt, and unsweetened coconut cream.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as necessary.
Once the mixture is smooth, taste it and adjust for sweetness by adding more banana or a splash of almond milk if needed.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes to prevent ice crystals until the desired texture is reached.
Once the ice cream reaches a creamy texture, either serve immediately for soft-serve or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours for a firmer consistency.
Scoop and serve, garnishing with chopped peanuts or a drizzle of peanut butter if desired.
