Ingredients
- 4 large ripe bananas
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Peel the ripe bananas and cut them into thin slices.
Step 2
Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 3
Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the banana slices until solid, about 2 hours.
Step 4
Once the bananas are fully frozen, place them in a food processor or high-speed blender.
Step 5
Add the unsweetened coconut milk, pure vanilla extract, and honey (or maple syrup) to the banana slices.
Step 6
Blend all the ingredients together on high speed. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula and ensure a smooth blend.
Step 7
As the mixture starts to cream, add the ground cinnamon and blend again until fully incorporated and smooth.
Step 8
Transfer the creamy banana ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours for a firmer texture, if desired.
Step 9
Scoop the ice cream into bowls and serve it fresh, or keep it frozen for future enjoyment.
