My blender is part of my Kenwood food processor and simply will not cope with the frozen bananas. It stops dead and the motor starts to smell acrid and overheated. I had to wait until the fruit was almost defrosted before I could blend it. What sort of blender did the originator of this recipe use?

A Nutribullet or Vitamix should do the trick- it needs to be a very strong blender x

Delicious, easy, and healthy, tastes like chunky monkey without the chunks! I've tried banana ice cream from frozen bananas before which had an unpleasant gummy texture. But the fat from the peanut butter here gives it an amazing, creamy texture just like ice cream. It did take over two hours to freeze properly though. Will definitely be making this again. I used skimmed cows milk and left out the almonds and choc.

Before I make this please could Good Food check the almond milk quantity as it only says 2 tablespoons. Is this right? Thank you
