TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream:

• Use Ripe Bananas: Riper bananas yield sweeter, creamier and icier cream.

• Slice Before Freezing: Sliced banana freezes faster and blends easier.

• Chill Your Bowl: For firmer texture, freeze your serving bowl beforehand.

• Add Slowly: Pour almond milk in gradually to control the consistency.

• Top With Crunch: Sprinkle crushed nuts or cacao nibs for extra texture.

VARIATIONS

• Chocolate Swirl: Blend in cocoa powder or melted dark chocolate.

• Berry Boost: Add frozen berries for a fruitier twist.

• Protein Kick: Stir in a scoop of vegan protein powder.

• Nut-Free Option: Use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.

• Spiced Flavour: Try a dash of cinnamon or vanilla extract.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

• Refrigeration: Best enjoyed immediately and refrigerating softens the texture too much.

• Freezing: If stored and frozen in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Soften slightly before serving.

• Make-Ahead: Pre-slice and freeze bananas in batches for ready-to-blend convenience.

• Batch Tip: Double the recipe and portion into small freezer-safe tubs for ready-made servings.
