Recipe Summary
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 6
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- Caramel sauce (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel the bananas and cut them lengthwise. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, and drizzle with coconut oil.
- Roast the bananas in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are caramelized and slightly golden.
- Remove the bananas from the oven and let them cool down slightly.
- In a blender, combine the roasted bananas, coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, or transfer the mixture to a shallow container and freeze for at least 4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals.
- Once the ice cream is firm, serve it in rustic bowls, drizzling with caramel sauce and garnishing with caramelized banana slices, if desired.
Helpful Tips
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can still make this delicious treat by using the freeze-and-stir method mentioned in step 6. For a nut-free version, substitute almond milk with oat milk or any other preferred milk. Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or even a swirl of peanut butter for extra flavor depth.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
Pairings
This ice cream pairs beautifully with warm, homemade apple pie or a slice of banana bread. For a lovely drink, serve it alongside a cup of hot chai tea or a creamy vanilla latte.
