Peanut Butter Banana Icecream

Call it banana soft serve, call it “nice” cream, or simply call it ice cream—whatever you call it, if you haven’t tried making banana ice cream at home, stop what you are doing right now and go put some bananas in the freezer!

Freeze some banana slices, and then when they’re frozen solid, pulse them in a food processor until you get an end result that is almost exactly the same texture as soft serve ice cream—you’d never know it was only bananas!

This recipe can be enjoyed as breakfast, as a snack, or as a late-night dessert!

For banana soft serve, you only want to freeze ripe bananas—green ones won’t taste right as ice cream.

To freeze the bananas, peel them, then break or cut into small pieces (~1″ in length). Place the pieces in one layer on a baking sheet, and freeze until hard. Then transfer the frozen pieces to a large zip-top bag. I keep a bag of frozen bananas in the freezer at all times.
