Instructions

Freeze the Bananas:

Slice bananas into ½″ rounds and freeze at least 2 hours (or use pre-frozen slices).

Blend the Base:

In a blender or food processor, combine frozen banana slices and peanut butter. Pulse until roughly broken up.

Adjust Creaminess:

With the machine running, drizzle in milk 1 tbsp at a time until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency (about 2–3 tbsp).

Serve or Freeze:

Spoon immediately into bowls for a soft-serve texture.
For a firmer dessert, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze 30 minutes before scooping.

Pro Tips

Prevent Overheating: If your blender warms up the mixture, let it rest 1 minute between pulses.
Flavor Variations: Add 1 tsp cocoa powder for a chocolate twist or swirl in berry compote right at the end.
Batch Prep: Double the recipe and freeze in a loaf pan for easy slices of frozen dessert all week.
