- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into small coin-shaped pieces.
Step 2
Place the banana slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spread out evenly to prevent sticking.

Add the coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the food processor.

Blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. You might need to scrape down the sides of the processor or blender occasionally to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
Step 7
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired.

Transfer the banana ice cream to an airtight container and smooth the top with a spatula.
