4.6 from 67 reviews

A simple and healthy Banana Split Banana Soft Serve recipe using frozen bananas blended into a creamy treat, enhanced with chocolate, strawberries, and peanut butter for a delightful, guilt-free dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 2 cups frozen bananas (about 3 medium bananas, peeled and frozen)

Mix-ins

  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare Frozen Bananas: Peel ripe bananas and freeze them for at least 2 hours until fully frozen. This step ensures a creamy texture when blended.
  2. Blend Bananas: Place the frozen bananas into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until the bananas reach a smooth, creamy consistency resembling soft serve ice cream. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides occasionally.
  3. Add Cocoa: Add the cocoa powder to the blended bananas and pulse a few times to fully incorporate the chocolate flavor evenly throughout the soft serve.
  4. Mix or Top: You can either gently fold in the sliced strawberries and peanut butter into the banana soft serve or use them as toppings when serving. Both ways create a delicious banana split-inspired dessert.
  5. Serve Immediately: Spoon the banana soft serve into bowls or dessert cups and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better texture.
  • For a creamier texture, you can add a splash of milk or plant-based milk while blending.
  • Adjust the amount of cocoa powder and peanut butter based on your preferred taste intensity.
  • Serve immediately as the soft serve can melt quickly.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan-friendly.
