Peanut Butter and Banana Ice Cream

Peanut Butter and Banan Ice Cream - A Pinch of Joy What do you do with a bag of bananas?   Make Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream!  One of the little groceries in town is a great place to find unexpected bargains.  Last time I was there, they had just set out bags of perfect golden yellow bananas.  I brought one of the bags home with me.  Since none of the bananas were over ripe, I figured I would have time to research recipes.   Here’s the first recipe I made:

Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream is simple – and supper delicious.  Cut up four bananas and freeze till firm.  Put frozen bananas in food processor, add the other two ingredients.  It does not matter if the peanut butter is creamy or chunky.  Any kind of milk will work.  Spin until mixed.  Freeze again.  Yum!   Hint: Forget using the blender.  You’ll end up with a frozen glob above the blades that will not budge, even when prodded with a wooden spoon.  Don’t ask how I know!!!  Just go for the bigger food processor that provides a wider, flatter space for frozen bananas to line up with the blade.
