Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Servings: 2 servings
- 2 bananas very ripe, peeled, cut into coins, then frozen
- 1/2 cup mango frozen
- 1/2 cup pineapple frozen
- 1/4 cup coconut milk or more if needed
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh fruit such as kiwi pineapple, and mango
- 2 tablespoons coconut flakes
- Optional: fresh mint for garnish
Place the frozen fruit in a food processor or high powered blender. Add the coconut milk. Blend for approximately 5 minutes, stopping occasionally to stir, until a creamy frozen mixture is formed - you may need to add a little more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
Spoon the "ice cream" into bowls or alternatively spoon it into a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe into bowls to get the soft serve to look as shown in the picture.
Top the "ice cream" with fresh fruit and coconut flakes and serve. Garnish with mint if desired.
- Use ripe, spotty bananas for best flavor and sweetness.
- Peel and slice the bananas into 1/2-inch 'coins' instead of large chunks, as chunks can be more difficult to blend.
- If you’re having trouble blending the bananas, let them banana thaw for a few minutes. This will allow the slices to soften and become easier to blend.
- You can use a food processor or blender to mix the fruit.
- For that lovely soft serve look, spoon the homemade banana ice cream into a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe into bowls to get the look as shown in the picture.
- When blending the fruit, you may need to add a little more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
