For a richer flavor, use ripe bananas with brown spots. If you don't have confectioners' sugar, you can use granulated sugar, but the texture might be slightly grainier. Experiment with different nut butters like almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter. Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the sweetness and nuttiness. Get creative with toppings! Try fresh berries, chopped nuts, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of honey.

Follow The Directions
01
StepArrange banana chunks in a single layer on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze until completely solid, about 2 hours.
02
StepTransfer the frozen banana chunks to a high-speed blender or food processor. Add confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
03
StepBlend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This may take a few minutes, depending on the power of your blender. (3-5 minutes)
04
StepAdd peanut butter and blend until fully incorporated and the mixture is uniformly smooth. (1 minute)
05
StepTaste and adjust sweetness or peanut butter flavor as desired. For a softer consistency, serve immediately. For a firmer texture, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for another 30-60 minutes.
