2-Ingredient Banana Almond Butter Ice Cream. A deliciously sweet no-churn ice cream made with bananas and almond butter! No ice cream maker needed. A great way to use ripe bananas!
Don’t you just hate when you have ripe bananas on the counter? Just sitting there. Staring at you.
Me too.
You have two options. Throw them out OR…….. make this no-churn banana almond butter no-churn ice cream! (Well, you can also make chocolate chip banana bread too but that’s another post hehe)
I have an ice cream maker which I love! Making Salted Caramel Cone Ice Cream with it was SO GOOD. Making “nice cream” is definitely easier. All you need is a blender. That’s it! No ice cream maker needed. Grab those bananas, some creamy almond butter, your favorite mix-ins and you’re ready for an ice cream soiree!
Also, I highly recommend you get an ice cream tub. Makes transferring the mixture so easy. Plus, it takes up less room in the freezer! Win!
This is the ice cream tub I have.
Of course, I added dark chocolate chips into mine. ;)
I hope you make it and LOVE it!

March 8, 2019 at 9:28 amWould it work just as well with 3 bananas? Lol that’s all I have.
