Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 3 tablespoons carob powder
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into coin-sized pieces.
Step 2
Place the banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 2-3 hours or until completely frozen.
Step 3
Once the bananas are frozen, transfer them to a high-powered blender or food processor.
Step 4
Add the carob powder, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (if using) to the blender.
Step 5
Blend the mixture on high speed, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides, until it becomes thick and creamy. This may take 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired. Blend again briefly to combine.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours for a firmer consistency, or serve immediately for a softer texture.
Step 9
Scoop into bowls and serve. Optionally, garnish with your favorite toppings like shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit.
