Chocolate Peanut Butter Nice Cream

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Nice Cream extra chocolatey peanut butter nice cream – it’s like eating a frozen peanut butter cup!

And that ice cream is pretty much my favorite food.

So this chocolate peanut butter nice cream? I could eat it straight from the blender. Oh who am I kiddingI do eat it straight from the blender. And on more than one occasion, it’s been my dinner. Thankfully the ingredients are so healthy that it’s actually quite a balanced dinner!

Seriously though in each creamy, melty, smooth, rich, chocolatey, peanut buttery serving, you get protein, vitamins, antioxidants, and healthy fats – all while thinking you’re eating dessert. It’s the best of both worlds!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Nice Cream Recipe
This Chocolate Peanut Butter Nice Cream extra chocolatey peanut butter nice cream – it’s like eating a frozen peanut butter cup!

Ingredients

• 4 overripe bananas, chopped and frozen
• 1/4 cup peanut butter, or allergy-friendly sub
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• optional 1 tbsp dutch cocoa or chocolate protein powder
• 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Make sure the bananas are at least partially brown before freezing them. 
2. Combine all ingredients in a food processor or high-speed blender. Process until completely smooth,
3. Adding a little milk of choice if your blender isn’t strong enough to handle the frozen banana. (If you’re not using a high-speed blender like a Vitamix and don’t want to add any liquid, simply thaw the bananas a bit before blending.) 
4. Either serve immediately as soft serve, or freeze for up to an hour before scooping out with an ice cream scoop for the classic ice-cream look. This tastes best the day it is made, but you can technically freeze leftovers for up to a few weeks and thaw before serving.
