Banana Peanut Butter Ice Cream (Nice Cream)

Ingredients

• 3 ripe bananas (cut into coins and frozen)
• ¼ cup natural peanut butter
• 1 tsp vanilla
• pinch of salt
• 2 tsp syrup (if needed)

Steps

1. 1

   Place your ice cream container in the freezer while you prepare your ice cream.

2. 2

   Peel and slice ripe bananas into coins. The riper the banana, the sweeter the ice cream! I like my bananas to have some brown spots on them. Seal your banana coins in a freezer-safe bag and freeze your bananas until frozen, about 4 hours.

3. 3

   Once frozen, add bananas, peanut butter, vanilla, and salt to a blender (or a food processor) and blend until everything is smooth and creamy. If it’s not blending super easily, try giving the mixture a stir (make sure your blender is OFF first) or letting the contents warm up on the counter for around 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Once creamy, give it a taste to see if it needs more sweetness. If so, I recommend adding up to 2 teaspoons of maple syrup.

5. 5

   Give it a final mix and transfer your mixture to the frozen ice cream container.

6. 6

   Freeze overnight or for 6-8 hours. Enjoy with your favorite toppings!
