Equipment
- 1 high-speed blender or food processor
- 1 shallow container or loaf pan
- 1 Spatula
- 1 baking sheet or plate (for freezing fruit)
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas sliced
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries hulled and sliced
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk or preferred plant-based milk
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or sweetener of choice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: 1/4 cup coconut cream for extra creaminess
Instructions
Prepare the Fruit
- Peel and slice the bananas into chunks and slice the strawberries.
- Arrange the fruit on a baking sheet or plate and freeze for at least 2 hours or until solid.
Blend the Ingredients
- Once the fruit is frozen, add it to a high-speed blender or food processor.
- Add the coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping the sides as needed.
Freeze the Mixture
- Transfer the blended mixture to a shallow container or loaf pan. Smooth out the top with a spatula.
- Freeze for 3-4 hours, or until firm and scoopable.
Serve
- Once the ice cream is ready, scoop it into bowls or cones.
- Garnish with extra fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of granola for added texture.
Notes
- Sweetness Level: Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less maple syrup. You can also experiment with other sweeteners like agave syrup or coconut sugar.
- Consistency: For a creamier texture, use full-fat coconut milk and consider adding coconut cream. For a lighter version, you can use a lower-fat coconut milk.
- Customization: Feel free to add mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or coconut flakes once the ice cream is blended and before freezing.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping for easier serving.
