Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream with Maple Waffle Bites
Sweet and creamy maple ice cream, swirled with nutty peanut butter, soft banana, and chewy waffle bites - this is the best breakfast-for-dessert you'll ever try.
Equipment
- Ice Cream Machine
- Waffle Iron
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¾ granulated sugar
- 2 tsp maple extract separated
- ⅓ cup dry waffle mix (enough to make 1 large or 2 medium waffles)
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 large banana
- ¾ cup peanut butter
- kosher salt
Instructions
- Whisk together cream, milk, sugar, and 1 tsp maple extract until smooth. Pour into your ice cream machine and churn until the texture of soft serve, approximately 20 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the waffle mix, water, and remaining teaspoon of maple extract.
- Cook the waffle batter in the waffle iron according to directions for your iron, usually 4-5 minutes.
- When the waffle has cooled slightly, tear or slice into just smaller than bite-sized pieces. Chop the banana.
- When the ice cream is finished churning, layer it into a freezer-safe container, a few cups at a time. Between each layer, scoop small spoonfuls of peanut butter, banana pieces, and waffle pieces onto the ice cream, and sprinkle a pinch of salt.
- When all of the ice cream and toppings have been layered into the container, slowly swirl a knife or chopstick through the ice cream to distribute the swirls of peanut butter, banana, and waffle.
- Freeze for at least 2 hours, serve, and enjoy!
