So I thought I'd try peanut butter & banana ice cream.
Peanut Butter Balls
In advance:
1/2 cup or more of peanut butter,
A couple of tablespoons of butter
A couple of tablespoons of powdered sugar or honey.
Mix it all together.
Make little balls, either by spooning onto a plate full of powdered sugar (so it doesn't stick), or by using a (greased) ice cube tray for tiny ice cubes.
Freeze these balls/cubes for several hours ahead of time.

Ice Cream ingredients:
2 cups half & half, well chilled
4 over-ripe bananas
1/2 to 3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 – 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, to taste
In a blender, combine the ingredients until the sugar is dissolved.
Turn machine on, pour mixture into freezer bowl through ingredient spout and let mix until thickened, about 25 – 30 minutes. Then add peanut butter balls, mix well, then freeze for a couple of hours. Thaw for 10 minutes or so before serving.
This is pretty darned good, flavorful but simple. Worth remembering.
