Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place 4 cups of peeled and sliced ripe bananas in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 4 hours until solid.
  2. Step 2: Transfer the frozen bananas to a high-speed blender or food processor. Add 1/2 cup natural peanut butter and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
  3. Step 3: Blend on high, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy like soft serve, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Serve immediately for soft-serve texture or transfer to a container and freeze for 1-2 hours for a firmer ice cream consistency.
