Peanut butter and banana ice cream recipe
A twist on the classic banana ice cream, the combination of peanut butter and banana gives a lovely nutty sweetness to this instant ice cream. Just remember to chop and freeze any bananas that are just that bit too ripe to eat – perfect for blitzing into an ice cream.
If at any time you have bananas that are in danger of becoming mushy, chop and freeze as directed, then decant into a sealable container and return to the freezer so that you have a ready supply of frozen bananas for making ice cream. The riper the banana, the sweeter the ice cream – green or unripe bananas never make a good sweet ice cream.
