Ingredients

Instructions

  • Peel and slice bananas and layer them on a baking tray. Place tray in the freezer and allow the bananas to freeze until solid.
  • Add the frozen bananas to a food processor along with the coconut milk and vanilla extract (and small pinch of salt if using).
  • Blend until the bananas are smooth and silky and the consistency of ice cream. 

Notes

  • Be sure to stop the food processor every so often and scrape down the sides to ensure the bananas are being evenly blended and there are no chunks. 
  • The ice cream will be the consistency of soft serve, you can always scoop it into bowls or put into a container and allow to chill so that it firms up a bit more.
  • Feel free to add in any of your favorite ingredients, this is a great base that can be used for a variety of flavors so don't be afraid to get creative!
  • You can keep sliced and frozen bananas on hand in ziplock bags (all air removed) so that you can blend this treat up at any time without needing to wait.
