First there was Banana Peanut Butter Swirl Ice Cream… then there was Chocolate Peanut Butter Homemade Frosty (and Strawberry Coconut Sorbet)… and then there was this:

Healthy No Sugar Added Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream

Tell me, who’s SUPER excited about a healthy (for real) chocolate ice cream bursting with 1000% peanut butter YUM? Alright, 1000% might be a little too much… an exaggeration on my part because it just sounded more fun. 😉

But trust me, this healthy chocolate peanut butter ice cream is for Peanut Butter Lovers only. It’s super creamy, deliciously chocolatey, but most importantly, indulgently peanut-buttery.

What does that mean?

Peanut butter all throughout the chocolate base ice cream. Thick ribbons of peanut butter swirling deliciously through that creamy chocolate base. And…

Wait! There’s no “and” because that’s all. You. Need.

Scratch that—and, NO ADDED SUGAR.

Who’s loving this?

You don’t need the added sugar because we’ve got lovely bananas on our side, naturally ripened aka sweetened to perfection.

And before you ask, nope, this ice cream doesn’t taste like a bunch of bananas! 😉 It tastes like peanut butter, chocolate, more peanut butter, a hint of bananas, and even more peanut butter.

Sound good?

You won’t miss the added sugar, and you be truly dumbfounded by how creamy this Healthy No Sugar Added Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream truly is. The secret’s in the peanut butter and the bananas. Each add a creamy richness that negates the need for heavy cream, coconut cream, egg whites, or any of that stuff!

So go ahead, grab another scoop. You deserve it and you don’t need to think twice about it. Because this ice cream is guilt free. Oh yeah!

Best of all, this chocolate peanut butter ice cream is super easy to make. Even easier, if you skip the peanut butter swirl part… but honestly, the extra minute or two it takes to make the swirl is totally and absolutely worth it.

Description

Healthy No Sugar Added Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream (V, DF): a super easy, 5-ingredient recipe for the BEST deliciously creamy and chocolatey no churn peanut butter ice cream. Vegan, Dairy-Free, Paleo option, Healthy Desserts, Peanut Butter, No Sugar Added, Gluten-Free.


Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream

  • 4 medium bananas, sliced and frozen
  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • ¼ cup unsalted, natural peanut butter or almond butter for paleo option
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (use paleo-friendly if needed)

Optional Peanut Butter Swirl

  • ¼ cup unsalted, natural peanut butter or almond butter for paleo option

Instructions

  1. Add bananas into food processor (preferred) or blender. Blend until crumbly. Add milk, blending until smooth.
  2. Add peanut butter and cocoa powder. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the processor as needed.
  3. Pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer-friendly container and smooth into an even layer; OR, optionally, do the following to create a Peanut Butter Swirl:

    Pour half of the mixture into a freezer-friendly, airtight container. Tap the container a few times to create an even layer. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of peanut butter over this layer of ice cream, creating big pockets of peanut butter. Keep it uneven for more chunky swirls!

    Pour the remaining half of the ice cream mixture over the peanut butter swirl. Tap again to even out the layer. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut butter over the ice cream. Dip a butter knife straight down into the ice cream. Gently swirl the knife around in a clockwise motion, creating pretty peanut butter swirls. Do not over-stir, as that will fully mix the peanut butter into the ice cream and remove swirls.

  4. Freeze for 3-6 hours, or until completely frozen. Allow to thaw for 5-20 minutes before scooping. Enjoy!

    Adapted from my Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate Smoothie recipe.

    Also try my 4 Ingredient Banana Peanut Butter Swirl Ice Cream and my No Churn Chocolate Chocolate Chip Coconut Vegan Ice Cream.

Notes

– Store in a freezer-friendly container for up to 2 weeks in the freezer.
– Allow to thaw at room temperature for 5-20 minutes, until firm but scoopable.
– More frozen plant-based treats to try: coconut chocolate chip ice cream, almond joy ice cream, dark chocolate nice cream.

    Can you taste the banana in the ice cream/is it overpowering?

      Hi Leila! I don’t think it’s very strong, but it does depend on how ripe your bananas are. The riper they are, the more present the banana flavor will be.
