BANANA AND PEANUT BUTTER 4-INGREDIENT 'ICE CREAM'



Banana and Peanut Butter 4-Ingredient 'Ice Cream' image

I make this for my family all the time! This is a great recipe for vegan/vegetarian diets, just replace the peanut butter with organic peanut butter or another nut butter. Substitute water for milk if desired. The more milk you add, the thinner and soupier your ice cream will be. Serve with sliced fresh fruit or handmade whipped cream.

PEANUT BUTTER BEIGNETS WITH CARAMELIZED BANANAS AND BITTER CARAMEL ICE CREAM

Categories     Rum     Chocolate     Dairy     Nut     Dessert     Fry     Banana     Peanut     Simmer     Bon Appétit     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

Peanut butter ganache
3/4 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
12 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
Beignet batter
1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Valrhona or Dutch-process)
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups club soda
2 large eggs
9 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, cooled
Canola oil (for frying)
Caramelized bananas
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1/4 cup dark rum
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
3 bananas, cut on diagonal into 1/3-inch-thick slices
Powdered sugar
Bitter Caramel Ice Cream
Purchased peanut brittle, chopped

Steps:

  • For peanut butter ganache:
  • Bring cream, sugar, and corn syrup to simmer in heavy medium saucepan. Add chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Transfer mixture to medium bowl. Add peanut butter and whisk until mixture is smooth. Cover and chill until ganache is firm, about 2 hours.
  • Using 1 level tablespoon ganache for each, form 1 1/4-inch balls. Place on baking sheet. Freeze ganache balls overnight.
  • For beignet batter:
  • Whisk flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt in large bowl to blend. Add club soda, then eggs and melted butter. Using electric mixer, beat until mixture is well blended and smooth.
  • Pour enough oil into heavy large skillet to reach depth of 1 1/2 inches; heat to 350°F. Remove peanut butter ganache balls from freezer. Working with a few ganache balls at a time, dip into beignet batter, coating balls completely. Lift balls out with fork and slowly slide into hot oil; fry until batter is set and slightly crisp, about 1 1/2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer beignets to paper towels to drain. Keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, prepare caramelized bananas:
  • Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add brown sugar and stir until sugar begins to melt, bubble, and form thick mass, about 4 minutes. Add rum and lemon juice; simmer until mixture thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Add bananas and cook until glazed with caramel, about 1 minute.
  • Place 3 beignets on each plate. Dust with powdered sugar. Place caramelized bananas and scoop of Bitter Caramel Ice Cream alongside beignets. Sprinkle ice cream with peanut brittle and serve.

Tips:

  • To make sure your beignets are cooked evenly, make sure the oil is at the right temperature before frying. You can check this by dropping a small piece of dough into the oil. If it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the beignets. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the beignets will not cook evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the beignets. They should be golden brown and cooked through, but not too dark.
  • For the caramelized bananas, be sure to use ripe bananas. This will give them a sweeter flavor and make them easier to caramelize.
  • Don't stir the bananas too much while they are caramelizing. This will prevent them from breaking down and becoming mushy.
  • For the bitter caramel ice cream, be sure to use a good quality dark chocolate. This will give the ice cream a rich and complex flavor.
  • When churning the ice cream, be sure to stop before it becomes too thick. You want it to be soft and scoopable, not hard and frozen.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter beignets with caramelized bananas and bitter caramel ice cream is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The beignets are light and fluffy, the bananas are sweet and caramelized, and the ice cream is rich and flavorful. This dessert is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
