A quick, easy, and healthy dessert made with just ripe bananas, peanut butter, and milk. This creamy nice cream is perfect for satisfying sweet cravings guilt-free.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, peeled, sliced, and frozen
  • 1/3 cup creamy natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or coconut milk)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 3 medium ripe bananas into 1/2-inch pieces. Spread them out on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Measure 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter and 1/4 cup milk of choice.
  3. Place frozen banana slices in your blender or food processor. Pulse a few times to break them down initially (about 20 seconds).
  4. Pour in the peanut butter and milk. Blend on medium speed, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula. Blend for about 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  5. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk (1 tablespoon at a time). If too thin, add a few more frozen banana pieces and blend again.
  6. Serve immediately for a soft-serve style or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1-2 hours for a firmer texture.
  7. Optional: Add chopped nuts, dark chocolate chips, or a drizzle of peanut butter before serving.

Notes

Freeze bananas sliced for easier blending. Use natural peanut butter without added sugar or oils. Avoid overblending to prevent liquidy texture. Let frozen nice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping if frozen solid.
