Description
Creamy peanut butter chocolate chip banana nice cream offers a guilt-free dessert that blends frozen bananas with rich chocolate chips. Smooth and indulgent, this frozen treat provides a healthy alternative for sweet cravings you’ll savor with pure delight.
Ingredients
- 3 bananas (ripe, sliced and frozen)
- 2 tbsps (30 mL) peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- ¼ cup (60 mL) dark chocolate chips (or cacao nibs for a healthier option)
- ½ tsp (2.5 mL) vanilla extract
- ¼ cup (60 mL) milk (almond, oat, or dairy optional, for blending)
- peanuts (chopped)
- chocolate chips (extra)
- peanut butter (melted, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Banana Preparation: Slice overripe bananas into uniform medallions, maximizing sweetness and ensuring peak ripeness for optimal texture.
- Freezing Process: Arrange banana slices on a parchment-lined tray in a single layer, then freeze completely for at least 23 hours to create a crisp frozen base.
- Blending Technique: Transfer frozen banana pieces to a high-performance food processor, adding peanut butter and vanilla extract for a luxurious flavor profile.
- Texture Refinement: Pulse and blend ingredients thoroughly, scraping container sides periodically to achieve a velvety smooth consistency, adding a splash of milk if the mixture becomes too dense.
- Final Touches: Gently fold chocolate chips throughout the nice cream, ensuring even distribution for delightful chocolate bursts.
- Serving Options: Immediately serve in chilled bowls for a soft, whipped texture, or transfer to a sealed container and freeze for one hour to develop a firmer ice cream-like consistency.
Notes
- Maximize Banana Sweetness: Choose bananas with brown spots for natural sugars and enhanced flavor, ensuring a richer, sweeter nice cream base.
- Prevent Freezer Burn: Wrap banana slices tightly in parchment paper to avoid ice crystallization and maintain a smooth, creamy texture.
- Blending Technique: Pause blending frequently and scrape processor sides to achieve a consistent, lump-free nice cream without overworking the machine.
- Customize Dietary Needs: Swap dairy milk with almond or oat milk for vegan options, and use dairy-free chocolate chips to create a completely plant-based dessert.
