Last week I got my usual at Jamba Juice: chocolate/peanut butter/banana and as I was sipping away I realized "hey, I could make this!"

So I did!

Using my base recipe I added three mashed bananas, a quarter-ish jar of peanut butter and five ounces of dark chocolate.

Holy wow that's thick! When I was done with the sauce portion of the recipe it had the consistency of cake batter (note to self, make cake batter ice cream -NO- red velvet cake batter ice cream! *patent pending*) and then it spent the night in the fridge and a half hour in the freezer. It was at milkshake constancy before I even dropped it in the mixer! It came out thick and fluffy and ready to eat (which as you can tell by all my pictures is not always the case with my ice creams). This one is still in the process of being eaten. It's delicious, thought I guess I was a little disappointed that it tasted so similar to the Jamba Juice inspiration. I don't know what I expected it to taste like, but I thought it would be different somehow.

PS - Posting these all at once makes me look like some kind of crazy ice cream man (which my friends would say I am I guess), I actually made all these ice creams over a few weeks not a few days. I've been making 1-3 batches a week since I got the machine just cause it's so fun and easy and tasty and ice cream.
