Creamy Dreamy PB&J Ice Cream

This is absolutely the most delicious ice cream I have ever had. Not only was it super easy to make, it is just as creamy as traditional ice cream in a carton with out all the added sugar and preservatives. This ice-cream is also totally customizable depending on what flavor of ice cream you enjoy most. I will say, though, that this flavor does have the slight after taste of bananas, but it is in no way overpowering and doesn't take away from the other flavors, just adds to the enjoyment.

Creamy Dreamy PB&J Ice Cream

Serves 3-4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Creamy ice cream full of PB and strawberry chunks. YUM!

What you will need:

  • 4 Ripe Bananas (not over ripe; just when the hay brown spots, that is perfect. also do not use green, under ripe, or just ripping bananas)
  • 4 TBS Natural Peanut Butter (just peanuts and salt)
  • 1 TBS Natural Jelly or Jam (I used Strawberry)









To Make:

1) Peel Bananas and cut them into 8-10 pieces (the smaller the pieces the easier to make)

2) Place banana pieces in freezer safe container and freeze over night or until completely frozen.

Frozen Bananas being added to food processor
3) After bananas are frozen, place them into a food processor and pulse 10-15 times until it looks crumbly.

4) Add 3 TBS peanut butter, and pulse until mixture is well blended and smooth.

5) Add remaining TBS Peanut butter and Jam or Jelly and Pulse 5 times (this swirls the mix-ins).

After smooth, add mix-ins and pulse 5 times to swirl. 
6) Place in an air tight freezer safe container (if not serving right away) and freeze for up to 5 days.

My Story on how I Became a Vegan Chef

          I was not always a vegan. In fact, I am not a strict vegan, but my husband is. When I started cooking vegan food for him many years ago (at that time I was a meat eater, but have since become a strict vegetarian), the only "vegan" food I knew how to make was (surprise, surprise) salads. Honestly, they always consisted of the same ingredients: romaine lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, green peppers, tofu, and oil and vinegar dressing. BORING!                  Well as you can image, we got tired of those salads pretty quickly. That is when I started experimenting in the kitchen. At first, most of my experiments didn't come out very well,(some of them were even completely in-eatable), but my husband was a trooper and always thanked me for the meal, even if it was unappetizing (several years later, he told me how bad I used to be, but by then, I was able to laugh about it).                 After experimenting for a while, and failing miserably, I started to notice i
