Ingredients for peanut butter ice cream base

6 bananas , frozen and in chunks *
3 tablespoons peanut butter **
1/4 teaspoon salt ***

Quick Strawberry Chia Jam

1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 teaspoon maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon chia seeds

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

For the strawberry chia jam, heat the frozen strawberries in a small pot, add the maple syrup and let them cook on medium heat until soft. Mash them with a fork, add the chia seeds and give it a quick mix. Take the pot off the stove and let it sit for about an hour to thicken.
Place frozen banana chunks, peanut butter and salt in a food processor and process until completely smooth ice cream. You might have to work in two batches - depending on the size of your food processor. Give it time. If you think it won't work, process it more until it's creamy!
Transfer the peanut butter ice cream into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper, swirl the strawberry jam into the ice cream and freeze for at least 3-4 hours. Enjoy! If it's too hard to spoon out, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes.

Notes

*If you need more instructions on how to properly freeze bananas, check out my Nice Cream post.

**I've used peanut butter made only from roasted peanuts.

***If you use salted peanut butter, you might want to reduce the salt or leave it out completely
