Ingredients
2ripe bananassmall or medium
2-4tbspnon-dairy milk of choice
vegan whipped creamto serve
1-2tbsppeanut butterto serve
Instructions
Do this step the night before you want to have your ice cream: First, remove and discard the banana peels. Then, slice your bananas into slices about 1/2 inch thick. For best results, lay the slices in a flat layer on a rimmed sheet to freeze, so as to prevent them from freezing in a clump. You'll want to freeze them at least overnight, until solid and hard to the touch. After they are frozen solid, you can use a metal spatula to transfer them from the tray to a plastic freezer bag to keep them fresh until you are ready to make ice cream.
When it's ice cream time: Start by adding your banana slices to your blender. If you're using a Vitamix, you can add your non-dairy milk while the blender is running and blend it until smooth (you may not need all the milk). If using a Nutribullet, start with 2 tbsp of non-dairy milk and pulse it until it begins to resemble soft serve. If it seems to be giving you trouble, go ahead and add the other 2 tbsp. Whatever blender you use, you'll want to blend until it's nice and smooth, which may involve scraping down the sides of your blender once or twice.
If using peanut butter to top, just add the peanut butter to a small microwave-safe dish and microwave it for 10-20 seconds, stirring after 10 seconds. It should be soupy and thin, ready for drizzling!
Transfer banana nice cream to your favorite serving bowl, topping with a few squirts of vegan whipped cream and a drizzle of melted peanut butter. Enjoy!
Notes
Ripe bananas are best in this recipe. If you only have bananas on the greener side, it will probably still work but it may have an effect on the flavor of your nice cream.
Feel free to personalize the toppings you use. You could use rainbow sprinkles, chocolate shavings, maraschino cherries, strawberry sauce or even Oreo cookie crumbles! You could even have a banana-ception by making a banana split with banana nice cream.
