Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe bananas preferably frozen for best texture
  • 0.5 cup peanut butter creamy, natural preferred
  • 0.5 cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup for sweetness

Equipment

  • High-speed blender
  • Freezer-safe container
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups/spoons

Method
 

  1. Place the ripe bananas, peanut butter, milk, and honey into the high-speed blender.
  2. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth, velvety, and well combined, about 30 seconds. You should see a creamy, pale-colored mixture with no lumps.
  3. Pour the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. This helps it freeze uniformly.
  4. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully frozen and firm.
  5. Once frozen, remove the container from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.
  6. Scoop a portion of the frozen mixture into the blender. If needed, add a splash of milk to help it blend smoothly.
  7. Blend on high for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency, velvety and scoopable without icy chunks.
  8. Serve immediately in bowls or cones, optionally topped with chopped nuts, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of sea salt for extra flavor.

Notes

For a richer flavor, toast the peanut butter slightly before blending. Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla for extra depth. Enjoy this creamy, icy treat on hot days or whenever you crave a nostalgic dessert.
