    5 Minute Banana Peanut Butter “Ice Cream” | Vegan

    April 17, 2020

    Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

    Craving something sweet, easy to make and guilt-free? Try our Banana Peanut Butter “Ice Cream”. A delicious treat that only requires 4 ingredients!
    Although we call this ice cream, it is completely dairy-free, as well as vegan. So my lactose intolerant friends, you can keep reading!

    This is another great way to use those extra ripe bananas that you’ve been staring at on your counter (the riper the banana the sweeter). You will want to start with frozen bananas for this recipe. Simply slice your bananas and place on a baking sheet or plate in your freezer for 30 minutes. This way, the banana pieces do not clump together and are easier to manage. If you have a lot of over ripe bananas, freeze them and then store in a container in your freezer and you can always have bananas on hand for smoothies and desserts! Store them in your reusable Stasher Bags (https://amzn.to/2RIHZYA) or a freezer safe glass container.

    Once you have your frozen bananas and your food processor, you’re ready to get started! If you’re on the hunt for a new food processor, I highly recommend this one from Cuisinart: https://amzn.to/3erRd5n . Alright, let’s get started and we hope you enjoy!
