How to freeze bananas
Most of the time, we simply put overripe bananas straight into the freezer. When we want to make this ice cream, we hold the frozen bananaa under hot running water for a few seconds then peel them with a paring knife.
Another option is to freeze them in chunks. This can be handy if you make a lot of banana ice cream and smoothies.
- Cut the ripe bananas into 1-inch chunks then lay them in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze.
- Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag. We love these reusable large Stasher freezer bags!
How long does banana peanut butter ice cream last
This ice cream is made for those of us who don't plan ahead as it is best eaten as soon as you make it. Scoop it directly from the blender into bowls. It is pretty soft this way, but absolutely delicious.
You can freeze it, but we recommend eating it within 2 hours. While it can be frozen for longer periods, it will freeze solid and need to thaw before you can eat it. It's still good once it thaws, but never quite as good as when it's fresh.
