Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium frozen ripe bananas (peeled and sliced)
- 1 cup (125g) fresh raspberries (or frozen raspberries)
- 1/2 cup (120ml) full-fat canned coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut (toasted optional)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Peel and slice 3 medium ripe bananas into ½ inch thick coins. Freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Add frozen banana slices, ½ cup coconut milk, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into a high-speed blender or food processor. Pulse to break up chunks, then blend for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed.
- Check consistency; add more coconut milk if too thick or more frozen banana slices if too thin and blend again.
- Gently fold in 1 cup fresh raspberries to keep bursts of tartness intact without fully blending them.
- Scoop the mixture into bowls. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut on top and garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves if desired.
- Serve immediately for best texture or freeze for 15-20 minutes for firmer ice cream.
Notes
Use ripe bananas frozen solid for the creamiest texture. Pulse first to break frozen chunks before blending continuously. Fold in raspberries gently to keep texture and color. Toast shredded coconut lightly for added aroma and crunch. If blender struggles, thaw bananas 5 minutes or chop smaller before freezing. Serve immediately as it melts fast.
