Peanut Butter Nice Cream with Chocolate Crackle

Raise your hand if you think peanut butter and chocolate are a match made in heaven! 

Peanut butter and chocolate are my favourite flavour combination. So naturally, this was my first flavour combination to create! This Peanut Butter Nice Cream with Chocolate Crackle can be made in less than 10 minutes with only 6 ingredients. So, what are you waiting for?! Go!

SERVING 5 nice cream sandwiches or serves 5

PREP 8 mins / TOTAL TIME 8 minutes

Ingredients

~ 4 frozen ripe bananas, chopped (I break the banana apart before freezing to make things easier)

~ ½ cup smooth peanut butter (no sugar added)

~ 1 tsp vanilla extract

~ ½- ¾ cup of my 3 Ingredient Magic Chocolate Shell (depending on preference)

~ Optional topping: ½ cup chopped, toasted peanuts (unsalted is my preference) if serving right away

Steps 

1. Add frozen bananas, peanut butter and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. If you are using a blender, you will need a tamper (or stop, scraping sides often with a spatula, then blending, repeat).

2. While the nice cream is still in the blender (or food processor), pour a thin layer (approx. ¼ cup) of the Magic Chocolate Shell over top, moving the container of choice around to ensure there are no pools of the Magic Chocolate Shell. Place entire container in the fridge for 1-2 minutes, or until the shell has solidified. When solidified, use a spoon to break apart the shell and give the nice cream a quick few folds with a spatula. This step does not need to be perfect! You just want to ensure that you are creating crackle rather than a solid sheet of hard chocolate in your nice cream.

3. Pour a thin layer of Magic Chocolate Sauce over top of the nice cream, and repeat the previous step. Depending how much crackle you would like, you may want to repeat this step once more.

4. Pour nice cream into a parchment lined loaf pan and place in the freezer or serve immediately. If reserving for a later time, remove from freezer 5-8 minutes before serving or place in the microwave for 20 seconds. Keeps for a month in the freezer.

*Note: it is important that you wait for the shell to harden, or you will be blending the chocolate into the nice cream rather than adding a crackling effect! *
