Vegan Peanut Butter Ice Cream

This looks amazing! My dad has an obsession with peanut butter so I’ll have to try this when his birthday comes around. I also have the same problem as you where everything I buy is blue… strange. And my favorite food is probably strawberries. Dipped in chocolate. Yes.

I too have been craving peanut butter like crazy. Maybe it’s the back to school season. One of my standard school lunches was always pb&j.

I am SO going to make this ASAP! And I agree with everyone else that I think your photos just keep getting better and better. You amaze me, girl!

you can’t make me decide! I go through phases. Avocado is up there. As are eggs. And sharp cheddar. And extra extra dark chocolate 🙂

I think you are so excited to live life, that you subconsciously love the sky, which translates to your love of blue. <3 That's my theory anyway. 🙂

My favorite food is yogurt, no doubt about it. Kind of weird, huh? Though peanut butter is probably number 2 on that list. I just got some peanut butter frozen yogurt that is to die for!

yummay!! peanut butter IS my fav food in the world. altho I would argue there is such thing as too much….like eating half a jar in one sitting and having a bad tummyache after too much. Ill never learn my lessons…. 🙁 lol

I’m heading to the kitchen to make this RIGHT now. Actually. Likely with a side of those Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Cookies too. Can’t wait 🙂

Yum, I wanna make this today. It’s a perfect hot day for it! Thanks for sharing :).

So delicious, on EVERYTHING. Had it for breakfast with some cinnamon raisen toast

Can I have a four-way favorite tie? Any dessert featuring chocolate and/or peanut butter, bread, cottage cheese and oatmeal. Maybe that’s more like a five way tie. Spinach, apples and spicy salsa are close runners up. I am not good at maying choices, clearly.
I really do need to get a blender now that actually works so I can make this ice cream. I’m thinking chocolate chips mixed in would rock:)

Yep, PB is my absolute favorite food of all times. I don’t think I can go a single day without it. I love it so much that I gave it up for lent last year-torture! But it is the best. PERIOD.

Yumi yum! This looks so good!
And I could not agreed more: It is chocolate for ever and ever and ever! Can not get enought<3

What a creative recipe!! I am allergic to PB but I’ll certainly try it without the PB.

My fav food in the world…oh man that’s tough… I am a complete chocoholic like you. I think Nutella is pretty high on my list right now ( i could eat a whole jar). I’m also a huge pasta lover!

OMG this looks incredible!!! I love pb icecream and this recipe is so simple! Gotta love ease! 🙂

Hi Katie ! This looks amazing I’m gonna try it tonight. Do u think it would work if I used a food processor ? I don’t have a vita mix and my blender isn’t too good.

good recipe. I am so pumped too that I finally got my Vita! I will try it out.

I agree with you…chocolate is my favorite and I know it sounds odd but veggies too. 🙂 Without both our bodies would be so angry at us, as they both make me feel so happy and good!

Favorite food in the world? Sigh. Too many to choose from! 🙂

Peanut butter is the best food ever and the color blue is the best color so yeah, I dont think you need to branch out from blue and I certainly wouldnt mind eating peanut butter ice cream 🙂

Love the peanut butter obsession! Whenever I eat peanut butter flavored things, I always want them to taste like straight peanut butter, not any milder…at times I go straight for the jar.

My favorite ice cream flavor is dark chocolate peanut butter, where the peanut butter is swirled into the ice cream in big chuncks…I may have to experiment with this!

how do you make your chocolate vegan?

Hi,

I have NuNaturals stevia in a jar, not packets. Do you have any sense of what the measurement of “one packet of stevia” would be? (eg, 1/2 tsp, etc). I’m guessing it might vary depending on the brand of stevia, though… What brand do you use?

Thanks so much! I’m really looking forward to making this recipe! 🙂

This is my new addition! I also tried it using Nutella and it was so yummy. My Magic Bullet isn’t powerful enough for blending the ice cubes, even after microwaving, but the food processor gets it done. Thanks for the recipe!

Many thanks, Katie, for the marvelous low-cal PB ice cream recipe!
Very much appreciate your philosophy of keeping life healthy and sweet =)

P.s. My favorite food is an ume (plum) onigiri (rice ball.)
Dessert faves include swirly soft frozen yogurt and
my mini chocolate cupcakes topped with matcha (green tea) frosting.

Wowwwww. I’m pretty sure you just became my favorite person….EVER. THANK YOU

Just made it with water instead of almond milk! YUM! Thank you! What an amazing simple recipe. I know what I’ll be making all summer long. 🙂

Katie,
Thank you sooooo much for your recipes!! I have been allergic to milk most my life, the ‘fake’ ice creams in stores are so expensive, I bought a machine to try and make it cheaper and healthier and returned it it was horrid. Other recipes tasted icky and didn’t turn out. My friend gave me a stand mixer with two metal bowls for a wedding gift, I just now finished an expirement. I layered ice and rock salt around the small bowl inside the large one, put the ingredients in and mixed on med for q minute then low for about 10 then shut it off and just kept up on the ice and salt and stirred occasionally. In about 30 minutes or less I had THE BEST ice cream I have ever had!! The only difference I did is half peanut butter half jif chocolate hazelnut spread. And my family who has never been on board with the taste of fake ice creams LOVE it too. You helped make a cruddy week absolutely fabulous!! Thank you sooo much!!

My almond milk states “Do not freeze” – do you think this would be an issue?

This looks delicious. However I am a bit confused with the caloric information. It says the pb version has 140 calories for the entire dish..but how is that possible if there are 200 calories in the nut butter alone? Thanks!

Great recipe. Using unsweetened Flax milk (25 cal/cup and the added bonus of 1200mg Omega-3) and PB2 (45cal/ 2 TBS) and Stevia, made the whole recipe around 80 calories. This is a keeper. Thank you so much.

If I were to use this in a popsicle mold, would I be able to bypass the blending portion?

i am allergic to milk, thank you for the ice cream recipe! Been looking a long time for one.

Favorite food is a tie between chocolate and cheese but for category of foods, Mexican is my absolute favorite cuisine!

I’d been thinking of trying frozen banana ice cream, so of course I checked your website for good recipes since you never disappoint! I ended up making the above recipe with chocolate almond milk and sunflower butter, added some dark cocoa powder, and when it was frozen to a slushy consistency I put it through my food processor with a very large chopped frozen banana, added in some chocolate chips and my man and I gobbled it up before any pics could be taken! Delicious! Sadly, I don’t have a vita mix but this seemed a good compromise to kind of blend (ha! pun!) two recipes for a perfect consistency. Also, I generally buy lots of bananas and freeze them since I use them in baking so often and they’re nice and mushy when defrosted, so, at first I didn’t think I’d be able to do the banana ice cream thing until I went back to the store so I could ripen, peel, and chop the bananas first before freezing but I’m happy to report that with a nice sharp knife I was able to cut the banana into segments then cut the peel away pretty easily.

I use soaked dates, blended as sweetner and its so so delicious!
