Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut (unsweetened, for garnish)
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into thin rounds.
Place the banana slices in a single layer on a tray or plate lined with parchment paper, then freeze for 1-2 hours until solid.
Add the frozen banana slices, coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to a blender or food processor.
Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness, if needed, by adding a bit more honey or maple syrup.
Spoon the mixture into serving bowls, cups, or molds.
Sprinkle shredded coconut over the top as a garnish for added texture and flavor.
Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer the mixture into an airtight container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours for a firmer consistency.
