Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe bananas
- 1 cup canned full-fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (Paleo-approved)
- 1 cup strawberries
- 0.5 cup crushed nuts (like almonds or walnuts)
Instructions
Peel and slice the bananas into thin pieces. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 2 hours or until completely frozen.
Once the bananas are fully frozen, transfer them to a high-powered blender or food processor. Add the coconut milk, vanilla extract, and raw honey.
Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, resembling soft-serve ice cream. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times to ensure everything blends evenly.
Transfer the banana ice cream into a loaf pan or an airtight container. Cover and freeze for an additional hour to firm up, or serve immediately for a softer texture.
While the ice cream is freezing, chop the strawberries and set them aside. Gently melt the dark chocolate chips over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
To serve, scoop the banana ice cream into bowls. Drizzle with melted chocolate, sprinkle with chopped strawberries, and top with crushed nuts for the full banana split experience.
Enjoy your Paleo Banana Split Ice Cream immediately for best texture and flavor!
