Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel two ripe bananas and cut them into 1-inch chunks.
  2. Place the banana chunks in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
  3. Add the frozen banana chunks to a high-speed blender or food processor.
  4. Add the peanut butter, carob powder, mint flavoring, and salt to the blender.
  5. Begin blending on low, gradually increasing speed. Use a tamper or spatula to push the bananas toward the blades if necessary.
  6. Slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup of water through the feed tube, only adding more as needed to help the mixture blend into a smooth, creamy consistency.
  7. Continue blending until the mixture resembles soft-serve ice cream, scraping down the sides as needed.
  8. Serve immediately for a soft texture, or transfer to a container and freeze for 30 minutes to firm up slightly.
