Vegan Banana Coconut Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream!
Vegan Banana Coconut Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream! Is literally the best ice cream ever! And, it’s done in 5 minutes. On top of the fact that it’s caaa-rrrraaazzzzyyy delicious, it is also healthy and beyond simple to make. Score! My sister, Jessica, was saying that she had been blending frozen bananas for ice cream and that gave me the ever-so-delicious idea for this glorious treat. Thanks, J-Ru! Frozen bananas, coconut milk, dark chocolate, peanut butter, cinnamon, and vanilla extract: blend in high powered blender (I used my Vitamix), and done!
My mom had an ice cream maker when we were little. I LOVED making ice cream recipes over the summer. I also totally remember making the vanilla and chocolate Jello pudding frozen bars which were my absolute favorite! Especially, the vanilla. Okay, this has definitely triggered a craving. It’s also reminded me of a camp my mother sent me to in Old Bethpage, Long Island when I was about 8; very interesting memories… I remember having to wear a bonnet and a long hand-sewn dress, high boots, and a metal can tied to a rope that wrapped around my waste so we could have birch beer on tap at the end of the day (let me tell you, this was the HIGHLIGHT of my afternoons). It was about 95f one day and I took off my bonnet, only to promptly be told to “put it back on, as the children back-in-the day could not remove their bonnets.” Yeah, I was living in olden times… just in 1989… sigh… We played with wooden circles and sticks, wrote with feather pens in old classrooms, made pickles, churned ice cream, and sang songs of the old. This is just one of the many strange camps I attended in my childhood… In hindsight, I can now appreciate these experiences. The key word there being “hindsight.” 😉 I’ll have to share a pic of myself from this time. Anyway, enjoy the delicious Vegan Banana Coconut Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream! I hope, you too, can reflect upon any old camp or ice cream churning memories from your possible crazy youth! 😉
