21 Day Fix Ice Cream Pie

Confession #93 – I had a piece of this 21 Day Fix Ice Cream Pie for breakfast yesterday.

Oh…and it may have been the piece I hid away in the freezer…after I told my family it was all gone.

Whew.  Thank you for letting me get that off my chest…

You get it, though, right?  I mean, not only did I spend the time making this little piece of heaven,  I also spent weeks dreaming about it…and how I could make it without sacrificing a yellow or a blue container…(that’s normal, right?).

And so I think I deserved that last secret piece.

Anyway, this all came about because we make the One Ingredient Banana Ice Cream almost every night in my house.  You have tried it, right?  Because it’s amazing.  No – it’s magical.  Whoever discovered that little banana slices could transform into ice cream should be celebrated.  Revered.  Because this has been life changing in my house.

My son can’t have dairy, so ice cream season (which is pretty much every month except maybe Dec and Jan around here) is tough.  But thanks to some bananas and a food processor, we can all have a healthy, tasty, and dairy free treat any time we want!

And now, with this pie, we have a fancy and delicious Ice Cream dessert that we can bring to parties or make for our own BBQs!  It’s seriously SO good…and with the peanut “crust” and homemade magic shell topping, it tastes like my favorite summer treat – the Nutty Buddy cone.  No – it tastes like the TOP of a Nutty Buddy cone, which is clearly the best part.

For this FIX approved treat, I just chopped up some peanuts in my food processor and laid them at the bottom of my pie plate.  Then I added the banana ice cream.  I went with straight up banana with some vanilla almond milk, but you could flavor it with extracts, cocoa powder, pb2 powder, or even some fruit!   Get creative!

Then I drizzled on some melted chocolate and peanut butter because, well, why wouldn’t I?

The resulting pie was so wonderfully tasty that my daughter actually chose it over the ice cream man this weekend.  And for all you fixers, this is one purple, one orange, and 2 teaspoons per serving because it’s essentially just bananas, peanuts, cocoa powder, coconut oil, and peanut butter.

Pure magic.

If you try this, please let me know or #confessionsofafitfoodie!

21 Day Fix Ice Cream Pie

Ingredients

  • 3 bananas, sliced and frozen
  • 3/4 cup of peanuts
  • 2.5 T coconut oil
  • 2 T unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder
  • 2 T of pure maple syrup
  • 4 teaspoons of peanut butter
  • splash of vanilla almond milk
  • optional mix-ins for banana ice cream- PB2 powder, chocolate chips or cacao nibs, vanilla extract…get creative

Instructions

  1. Pulse peanuts in food processor until they are chopped, but before they become peanut butter. Place chopped peanuts on the bottom of a pie plate.
  2. Remove bananas from freezer and place in food processor. Blend until smooth, adding in a splash of almond milk if necessary. You may need to stop and scrape the sides occasionally. This process usually takes me 3-5 minutes.
  3. Once your bananas are the right texture, spread them over the peanut layer of your pie plate. Place pie in freezer.
  4. Melt coconut oil in the microwave or over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in cocoa powder and maple syrup until smooth. If you see lumps, keep whisking or heat slightly.
  5. Remove pie from freezer and, using a fork, drizzle chocolate over pie in alternating directions.
  6. Melt peanut butter in the microwave for about a minute or until thin. Again, drizzle over pie.
  7. Place pie back in the freezer for at least an hour. You want it to be very firm when cutting it.
  8. Enjoy!

    I made this in a pie plate, but once frozen, I broke into chunks and put in a ziplock bag back in the freezer. I ate a little nibble at a time if I was craving a little sweet and it was very satisfying! Not exact for measuring containers though...

    I tried this today and added Greek yogurt, vanilla and PB2 to the batter and just a T of chocolate chips. It had a really great flavor but the texture was really icy. It was like it was freezer burnt or something. Do you have any advice to avoid this next time I make it?! Is your pie creamy like ice cream normally?

      Hmm...never! Even days later. What did you cover it with?

      Sorry - I meant to say it's never icy and yes, it has a creamy texture like ice cream. Even the next day. Hmmm...what did you cover it with?

        Do you cover it before putting it in the freezer? Maybe that's what I did wrong! I didn't cover the pie before putting it in the freezer. I am also wondering if maybe my bananas were frozen for too long before being used. They were in the freezer for several days because I was going to make it the day I put them in, then ended up waiting a few days. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly!

          I do...but I don't think it has anything to do with the length of time your bananas were in the freezer. I will keep trying to trouble shoot this for you!

            Okay thank you! I've been trying to figure it out but I'm just not sure! Could it have been the Greek yogurt that I added?

            It could have been! I have tried a lot of those yogurt frozen dessert and I am not a fan...they don't have a good frozen texture. Maybe just try making a small amount of the banana ice cream without the yogurt to see?

    Mine came out crystally too. I followed the recipe exactly and covered it with plastic wrap when I put it in the freezer. The only thing that I'm thinking that could be making a difference is if my freezer is too cold? I get a similar consistency for any "ice cream" desserts that I try.

    I am totally bummed. I was soooo excited to try this recipe that I couldn't wait for my bananas to ripen. The results turned out perfect HOWEVER the bitterness of green bananas was so overwhelming that it ruined it. :-( We picked off the topping tho which was amazing so not a 100% disappointment.

      This is SO SAD. I wonder if you could have added some honey to the banana mixture? What a total bummer!!!
