Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Ninja Creami Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 ripe banana (adds natural sweetness)
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk of your choice)
• 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (look for one with no added sugar or oil)
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon honey, maple, or date syrup (optional for added sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the Base:
   • In a blender, combine the ripe banana, almond milk, peanut butter, cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
2. Freeze:
   • Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container. Seal the container and freeze for at least 24 hours.
3. Process:
   • Once frozen, remove the pint container from the freezer. Place it into the Ninja Creami machine and select the “Ice Cream” function. Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4. Serve:
   • Scoop the ice cream into bowls and enjoy immediately. You can also store any leftovers back in the pint container and freeze them. Before serving again, you may need to reprocess it for a few seconds in the Ninja Creami.

Fun Variations and Mix-Ins

One of the best things about making ice cream at home is the ability to customize it. Here are some exciting variations and mix-ins to try with your Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream:

Variations

1. Chocolate Banana Nut:
   • Add 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the base mixture before freezing.
2. Mocha Delight:
   • Replace 1/4 cup of almond milk with brewed coffee for a delicious mocha flavor.
3. Mint Chocolate Chip:
   • Add a few drops of peppermint extract and 1/4 cup of mini dark chocolate chips to the base mixture before freezing.

Mix-Ins

1. Chopped Dark Chocolate:
   • Stir in 1/4 cup of chopped dark chocolate after processing the ice cream for an extra chocolatey crunch.
2. Crushed Pretzels:
   • For a sweet and salty combo, mix in 1/4 cup of crushed pretzels after processing.
3. Fresh Berries:
   • Fold in 1/2 cup of fresh raspberries or strawberries for a fruity twist.
4. Coconut Flakes:
   • Add 1/4 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes for a tropical flavor.

Tips for Perfect Ice Cream

• Ripe Bananas: Make sure your bananas are very ripe for the best natural sweetness.
• Creamy Texture: If your ice cream is too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before processing again.
• Storage: Store your ice cream in an airtight container to prevent ice crystals from forming.
