This is it guys. After all my yearning and gawking at other blogs featuring their gorgeous ice cream recipes, and me getting jealous that I don’t have an ice cream maker, I finally did it. I made ice cream.
But whaaaa? How is this possible? Well. I have been window shopping for ice cream makers, and have finally ordered one on amazon. Well, I guess that’s not really window shopping, but I love amazon so much that I order EVERYTHING from there. Then I don’t have to leave my house. How lazy I have become..
Anyways, a couple of minutes after I ordered it, I thought “come on now, this is taking too long. I waited until the end of summer to buy an ice cream maker???” So I got up, and made this. Made this without an ice cream maker. That was the best part.
And while there is no cream in this ice cream (can I actually call this ice cream?) it uses a total of 3 ingredients. Ingredients I’m sure everyone has on hand. Which just makes it a mega win in my books.

I love amazon too and since becoming a prime member have pushed the limits of laziness 🙂
This ice cream looks delicious, I know my husband would love it too.
Uh yes please… I do have everything on hand! Don't feel bad about being a lazy shopper…you're being a smart shopper! I went to Barnes and Noble the other day to buy some books and ended up with a bargain yoga book but not the books I intended to buy coz they were freaking expensive. I went on amazon and looked for the same books and found out they were a good 5-10 bucks cheaper especially coz they were eligible for the free shipping deal. Pretty awesome deal.
I LOVE amazon as well! It makes for buying textbooks easy! Hehe.
And ice cream without an ice cream maker! How awesome and simple! 🙂
HEALTHY ice cream? Another win!
I'm so excited for your new ice cream maker but I'm also super excited to try this ice cream! Looks awesome!
PB & banana sounds like a great combo for ice cream!
Crazy, the texture the color and the color combination look to die for! Great job! Making me drool!
You know, most recipes you posted, all mostly seem to be the healthy so some how or rather I thought you are a nutritionist ! Of course, good that we eat healthy food at all times! Peanut Butter ice cream….mmmmm real delicious!
yay for ordering the ice cream maker!! oh my gosh i do crazy amounts of online shopping- i too am quite lazy and completely proud of it 🙂 this is such a neat way to make ice cream, though! it sounds so yummy!
I love shopping at amazon too! And this ice cream sounds wonderful, peanut butter and bananas are perfect together. Coincidentally, I just posted a frozen banana ice cream on my blog yesterday! Next time I shall stir some peanut butter into my banana ice cream.
wow, healthy ice cream…i want it.

Mmmmm that looks incredible my friend – I made exactly the same last year and ate it with a GIANT PB cookie… Not one of the healthiest nights but like you show in your pics, one of the yummiest 🙂

I've seen a lot of recipes using bananas as the base that don't require an ice cream maker. I've yet to try it, but it looks and sounds like it would be great! Congrats on ordering yourself an ice cream maker, too! I'm sure you'll have fun with it.
Congrats !!!!! At last ! 😀 You're really going to enjoy making ice cream ! lol And that ice cream looks wonderfully yummy !
Amazon works for me, i've bought so much through them i became a prime member, usually get free shipping, no tax too at least for a while anyway great ice cream My previous maker finally wore out recently got an ice cream attachment for the kitchen aid mixer and it works pretty good, homemade ice has so many possibilities, thanks for sharing 🙂
I have to try this one!
I tried the same thing, just without marple syrup, jam instead 🙂 YUMMY!
How wonderful. I love how it's made of only three things and without an ice cream maker! Lovely.
you got me at peanut butter banana ice cream…healthy is a bonus!
Oohh…I'm going to have to try this with Sunbutter since we have a nut allergy in the house. Protein, bananas – I'm seriously thinking of feeding this to my kids for breakfast!

I totally have an Amazon addiction as well. It doesn't help that I have temporary Prime access and it's two-day shipping. And that now I'm eying ice cream makers ;D
Hi Cathleen, your ice cream look mouth watering, so refreshing and it look so simple. The combination sound great.
Have a nice day, regards.
I've seen recipes for banana ice cream, but never have seen peanut butter added to it. Great idea! My ice cream maker is a busy piece of equipment as ice cream is my downfall. Put it on your wish list!
