A quick and easy creamy frozen banana nice cream with a peanut butter swirl that is healthy, delicious, and perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe bananas, peeled and frozen
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (natural, unsweetened preferred)
  • 23 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Peel ripe bananas, slice into 1/2-inch pieces, and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Place frozen banana slices into a blender or food processor. Add 2 tablespoons almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Start with less milk and add more if needed.
  3. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes, stopping to scrape sides as needed, until texture is thick, smooth, and creamy like soft-serve ice cream.
  4. Warm peanut butter slightly in the microwave for about 10 seconds to soften but not melt.
  5. Transfer half of the banana nice cream into a serving bowl or container. Dollop spoonfuls of warmed peanut butter over the layer and gently swirl with a knife or spatula. Repeat with remaining banana nice cream and peanut butter on top to create ribbons.
  6. Serve immediately for soft-serve texture or freeze for 30 minutes to firm up. If frozen longer, let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess. Slightly thaw bananas for 5 minutes if blender struggles. Warm peanut butter just enough to swirl without melting completely. Avoid overblending to prevent smoothie texture. Store leftovers in airtight container in freezer up to 3 days.
