Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel two ripe bananas and slice them into chunks.
  2. Place the banana chunks in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, about 4 hours or overnight.
  3. Add the frozen banana chunks to a high-powered blender or food processor.
  4. Add the carob powder, mint-peppermint flavor, salt, and peanut butter (or nuts if substituting).
  5. Begin blending on low speed, scraping down the sides as needed.
  6. Slowly add water, one tablespoon at a time, only as needed to help the blades move and create a smooth consistency.
  7. Continue blending until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, resembling soft-serve ice cream.
  8. Serve immediately for a soft texture, or transfer to a container and freeze for 30 minutes for a firmer scoop.
