Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe bananas
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
Peel the ripe bananas and cut them into thin slices.
Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the banana slices until solid, about 2 hours.
Once the bananas are fully frozen, place them in a food processor or high-speed blender.
Add the unsweetened coconut milk, pure vanilla extract, and honey (or maple syrup) to the banana slices.
Blend all the ingredients together on high speed. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula and ensure a smooth blend.
As the mixture starts to cream, add the ground cinnamon and blend again until fully incorporated and smooth.
Transfer the creamy banana ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours for a firmer texture, if desired.
Scoop the ice cream into bowls and serve it fresh, or keep it frozen for future enjoyment.
