Ingredients
- 3 pieces Ripe bananas
- 2 cups Fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 cup Coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup for vegan version)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas, slice them into small chunks, and place them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Do the same with the fresh pineapple chunks if they are not already frozen.
Step 2
Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the fruit for at least 4 hours or overnight, until the fruit is completely solid.
Step 3
Once the fruit is frozen, add the banana chunks and pineapple chunks to a food processor or high-speed blender.
Step 4
Pour in the coconut cream, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, lime juice, and salt.
Step 5
Blend the mixture on high until it becomes smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender/processor as needed to ensure even blending.
Step 6
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or lime juice if desired.
Step 7
Transfer the blended mixture to a freezer-safe container, spreading it evenly. Optionally, press a piece of parchment paper slightly on the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Step 8
Freeze the ice cream for an additional 2-4 hours for a firmer texture, or enjoy immediately for a softer, creamier consistency.
Step 9
To serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly before scooping.
