Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 0.5 cups full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cacao powder (optional, for chocolate flavor)
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts or berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the ripe bananas, slice them into coins, and place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. Freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
Once the bananas are frozen solid, transfer them to a high-speed blender or food processor.
Add the coconut milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (if using) to the blender.
Blend the mixture on high speed, stopping as needed to scrape down the sides, until it becomes smooth and creamy. This may take a few minutes depending on your blender/processor.
If making chocolate ice cream, add the cacao powder and blend again until fully incorporated.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with additional maple syrup if desired.
Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture or transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for 1-2 hours if you prefer a firmer texture.
Scoop into bowls, garnish with chopped nuts or berries if desired, and enjoy!
