Ingredients
  

  • 4 to 5 very ripe fresh bananas peeled
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla powder or vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter powder PB2 Pure, no salt or sugar or 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • unsweetened plant milk as needed. I use JOI oat milk
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened chocolate chips - I use Trader Joe's unsweetened Cacao chips

Instructions
 

  • Break bananas into the CREAMi pint container and mash with a fork, add the peanut butter powder or peanut butter or nut butter of your choice, add the vanilla powder or vanilla extract and stir well to combine. If the mixture is not up to the maximum fill line add more banana or a little plant milk and stir well. Smooth out the top of the mixture to make it level.
  • Put the lid on the container, label it and put in the freezer for 24 hours. Be sure the pint container is level so the mixture will freeze level.
  • When frozen all the way through for 24 hours, remove from the freezer and let sit on counter for 5-10 minutes. Put the CREAMi pint onto the Ninja appliance following manufactures instructions and use the light ice cream setting. If the mixture comes out looking powdery put it back on the Ninja appliance and use the re -spin setting.
  • To add the chocolate chips using a small spoon, make a 1 1/2 " wide well in the center of the ice cream all the way down to the bottom and pour in about 1/4 cup chocolate chips. Put the CREAMi pint back on the appliance and use the Mix In setting and it will incorporate them through out the ice cream. Scoop and enjoy!
  • If you have at least 1/3 of a pint of left over ice cream smooth out the top so it is level. Put the lid on and put it back in the freezer. When you want to serve it again you can spin it and it will be like freshly made ice cream! Enjoy!
