A few of you asked me for this recipe when I posted a picture on Instagram so I'm going to deliver. Now, since this was my first time making it and I was experimenting based off of some other recipes, my amounts are less than accurate. It's pretty basic and I don't think it will affect the final outcome.
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 1/2 cups vanilla greek yogurt (I swear by Chobani)
- 1 tspn vanilla extract
- 1-2 tbsps natural PB (natural is not only healthier but also mixes better because of its thinner consistency compared to regular creamy peanut butter)
- whipped cream and/or any other toppings
Mash bananas in a medium, freezer safe bowl then blend with yogurt, vanilla, and PB. Cover with plastic wrap and place in freezer.
How long you ask? That depends on how you like your froyo. I kept checking on it, mixing it often. The center will freeze last and the perimeter of the mix will freeze quicker so I mixed to try to keep an even pace on the process. Once the batch is looks like it's good to go you can move it to a food processor to give it that creamy consistency that fro-yo or ice cream has. It will transform it from an "icy" state to a more creamy and smooth texture.
Once it's ready, transfer to a serving bowl and top with anything you like. I just happened to have chocolate chips and whipped cream.
You can also substitute this recipe for anything flavors you'd like. If you prefer to add almonds, pretzels, etc (something not soft such as my ingredients) wait until you pull it out of the freezer, blend as directed then fold in the solid ingredients and serve!
From my experience, try not to make too much as it doesn't last long in the freezer. After a few days, it was frozen solid which made it impossible to remove from the bowl to serve.
I hope you enjoy this and be sure to let me know what other variations you tried. I'm always up for new ideas!
