4 Ingredient Banana Peanut Butter Swirl Ice Cream (V, GF): my favorite easy, no-churn recipe for delightfully sweet and creamy vegan ice cream bursting with peanut butter flavor! Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free and made with healthy ingredients.

Ah, the topic of Peanut Butter and Erik. Yep, that’s Peanut Butter, with a capital “P” and a capital “B.” And Erik with a capital “E”–why must he be so difficult? 😉 You might recall from a few years back, in this post, the saga between these two.

Essentially, I was under the misapprehension (I may or may not have gotten typing fatigue from all the letters in that word) that Erik actually LOVED peanut butter, when in fact, he did not. Then, when I realized he didn’t, logged that in, and operated accordingly, he changed his mind.

Then, he changed his mind again. Smh.

That dude.

So as of the current score, Erik is not fan of peanut butter. He literally cringes now when I suggest a peanut butter dessert. Can you believe? I think I might’ve pushed him to his very limit with all the rounds of kitchen testing for 3 ingredient no bake peanut butter oatmeal cookies, no bake chocolate peanut butter bars, peanut butter chocolate chip oatmeal breakfast bars, and this chocolate peanut butter no bake energy bites recipe. Okay, fine… that’s a lot of peanut butter recipes, and I’m not gonna lie, I didn’t even mention them all. I actually may or may not have crossed out like 15 75 other recipes…

But that’s his job! Official Beaming Baker Taste Tester and blah blah blah is in his job description!

So imagine my surprise when I begrudgingly, cautiously ask him to sample some of this 4 Ingredient Banana Peanut Butter Swirl Ice Cream. I gave him a cone with a double scoop (made for the photoshoot, you see), turned my back to adjust my camera settings, clean up a peanut butter drizzle mess on one of my photography boards, and then turned back around.

Just 1.5 seconds later.

And the entire cone, plus the double scoop, were GONE.

Say whaaaaaaa?

There stood Erik, peanut butter swirl and a few drops of melting ice cream just a whisper on his two-day old scruff. Like, “What’s up?”

Mr. I Cannot And Will Not Eat Another Bite of Anything Peanut Butter-y aka Will Act Like a Saint for Even Trying a Teensy Pea-Sized Amount of a Peanut Butter Recipe was just standing there, like nothing unusual had happened.

And says, “Literally my FAVORITE ICE CREAM EVER.” (Previously his favorite ice cream was this no churn Chocolate Chocolate Chip Coconut Vegan Ice Cream. .)

“Like, this is THE perfect homemade peanut butter ice cream recipe.”

Me: Mouth gaping open, shell shocked.

E: “Wait, that was your new peanut butter ice cream right? Hmm.”

Me: “Hmmm?!?!?!? I thought you didn’t LIKE peanut butter?? What the?”

E: “I don’t. But that was just REALLY FRIGGIN GOOD!!”

Me: “Seriously?!?!? Oh, Erik…”

And that’s how you know that this Banana Peanut Butter Swirl Ice Cream is EVERYTHING. And then… guess what? He even proceeded to finish the entire double batch throughout the week. And he only took that long because I had to put my foot down on him eating it all at once. He literally jumped up and down asking if he could have a few scoops after dinner, every friggin night.

This guy…
