Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade ice cream made from frozen bananas, peanut butter, and chocolate chips, delivering a creamy, rich, and healthy dessert without an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, peeled, sliced, and frozen
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk of choice (almond, dairy, or oat milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (60 grams) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Freeze the bananas: Peel and slice 3 ripe bananas into 1/2-inch pieces. Spread them out in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  2. Prepare the blender: Add the frozen banana slices to a high-speed blender or food processor. Pour in 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk of your choice and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Blend until smooth: Pulse and blend for about 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until creamy and smooth like soft-serve ice cream. Add a splash more milk if too thick, but avoid making it runny.
  4. Add peanut butter: Spoon in 1/3 cup peanut butter and blend again for 30-45 seconds until fully incorporated but still thick.
  5. Sweeten if needed: Taste the mixture and add 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey if bananas aren’t sweet enough, then blend briefly.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips: Transfer the ice cream base to a mixing bowl and gently fold in 1/3 cup (60 grams) chocolate chips with a spatula to keep them intact.
  7. Freeze to set: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, and freeze for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  8. Serving hint: Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping to soften slightly for easier serving and improved creaminess.

Notes

Freeze bananas sliced in a single layer for best blending and texture. Use a powerful blender to avoid icy or chunky texture. Add peanut butter after initial blending to prevent blender from sticking. Fold in chocolate chips last to keep crunch. Let ice cream soften 5 minutes before serving for creamier texture. Optional sweetener can be added if bananas are not sweet enough.
