Ingredients

  • 3 frozen bananas
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter

Method

  1. Blend the frozen bananas until creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides.
  2. Add the cocoa powder and peanut butter.
  3. Blend again until thick like soft serve.
  4. Scoop into bowls—or freeze 30–45 minutes for firmer scoops.

Why this recipe works

  • Freeze the bananas in thin slices, not whole. Whole frozen bananas will strain your blender and blend unevenly.
  • Spotty, overripe bananas are the sweetest — this is the recipe that finally justifies those bananas you were about to toss.
  • The peanut butter is not just flavor; its fat is what makes the texture creamy instead of icy.
