Description
A creamy, dairy-free dessert made with ripe bananas, peanut butter, and chocolate chips. Naturally sweetened and quick to prepare, it’s a healthy treat that’s perfect for a snack or dessert.
Ingredients
Ripe bananas (the riper, the sweeter)
Milk (any kind—dairy or dairy-free)
Creamy peanut butter
Vanilla extract
Chocolate chips (optional, but highly recommended)
Instructions
- Slice the bananas and freeze them for about 2 hours until firm.
- Blend the frozen slices in a food processor or blender, scraping down the sides as needed, until the bananas become smooth.
- Add milk, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Continue blending until everything is creamy.
- Stir in chocolate chips if using.
- Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture or freeze for about an hour for a firmer scoop.
Notes
- You can swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter for a different flavor.
- Adding cocoa powder can turn it into a chocolate version.
- For extra crunch, try adding coconut flakes or chopped nuts.
- Frozen strawberries or mango can replace part of the banana for a fruity twist.
