Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Nice Cream
A creamy, one-ingredient-base frozen dessert blended from ripe bananas with rich cocoa and peanut butter. No dairy, no churning, and naturally sweet. Plan ahead: freeze bananas for at least 4 hours.
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas, peeled, frozen
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup creamy natural peanut butter
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp unsweetened almond or oat milk
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
Instructions
-
1
Freeze 4 peeled, frozen ripe bananas on a parchment-lined baking sheet at least 4 hours or overnight. They must be completely solid.
-
2
Let the frozen bananas sit at room temperature for 3-4 minutes to soften very slightly, which makes blending easier.
-
3
Add the frozen bananas, 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup creamy natural peanut butter, 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, 2 tbsp unsweetened almond or oat milk, and 1/8 tsp salt to a high-powered blender or food processor.
-
4
Blend on high, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until completely smooth and creamy. Add an extra splash of plant milk only if the mixture is too thick to blend.

5
For a soft-serve consistency, serve immediately. For a firmer scoop, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1-2 hours.

Scoop into bowls and top with 1/4 cup vegan dark chocolate chips.
