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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Once the bananas are frozen solid, transfer them to a high-speed blender or food processor.
Step 3
Add the coconut milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (if using) to the blender.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
If making chocolate ice cream, add the cacao powder and blend again until fully incorporated.
Step 6
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with additional maple syrup if desired.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Scoop into bowls, garnish with chopped nuts or berries if desired, and enjoy!
