Description
Chocolate Peanut Butter Nice Cream is a rich, creamy frozen treat made from frozen bananas, peanut butter, and cocoa powder. It's a guilt-free, vegan, and dairy-free dessert that's naturally sweet and easy to make, perfect for a healthy snack or dessert.
Ingredients
3 ripe bananas, sliced and frozen
2 tbsp natural peanut butter
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: splash of almond milk (or any milk) for creaminess
Optional toppings: chopped peanuts, dark chocolate chips, sliced banana
Instructions
- Place the frozen banana slices in a high-speed blender or food processor and pulse until creamy and smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Add the peanut butter, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract, then blend again until well combined. If too thick, add a splash of almond milk to help blend.
- Serve immediately as soft-serve or transfer to the freezer for 1-2 hours for a firmer, scoopable texture.
- Top with chopped peanuts, dark chocolate chips, or banana slices if desired.
Notes
Use ripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness and smooth texture.
A food processor can be used if a high-speed blender is unavailable.
This recipe is not keto-friendly due to natural sugars in bananas.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer and enjoy within a week for best flavor and texture.
Let frozen leftovers soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Variations include adding Greek yogurt for creaminess, honey or maple syrup for sweetness, or swapping peanut butter for almond or cashew butter.
