Ingredients 

Instructions 

  • Add bananas to a blender or food processor. Blend until crumbly. Add coconut cream, maple syrup and vanilla, blending until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
  • Add coconut, almonds and chocolate chips, blending until just incorporated (2-4 pulses). Alternately, you can melt the chocolate to achieve delicate chocolate flakes in your ice cream. To melt chocolate, follow instructions in Notes.**
  • If you like super soft, melty ice cream, enjoy immediately. If you want firm and scoopable ice cream: pour into a freezer-friendly, airtight container, such as this reusable ice cream tub or these portion control ice cream containers.
  • Freeze for 3-6 hours, or until completely frozen. Allow to thaw for 5-15 minutes before scooping. Enjoy!

Notes

  • *You can use canned coconut cream, or you do the following: Allow a can of full-fat coconut milk to settle for 1-3 daysโ€”set it in a stable, cool environment. Open the can and scoop the firm, creamy white part off the topโ€”this is the coconut cream.
  • ** To create delicate chocolate flakes: Add chocolate chips to a small, microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 15-second increments until melted. Stir in between increments, until smooth. Scrape melted chocolate into the food processor. Pulse a few times to combine. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed.
  • Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week. Before serving, allow to thaw for about 5-15 minutes. Scoop and enjoy!

    1. Demeter | Beaming Baker says:

    1. Demeter | Beaming Baker says:

      Woot woot!! So happy to hear it, Holly! Enjoy!

  3. Linda says:

    Can I use my blendtec instead of a food processor?

    1. Demeter | Beaming Baker says:

      Hi Linda, yes, that should work just fine! Just make sure to scrape the bottom so everything incorporates very well. ๐Ÿ™‚ Enjoy!

    So far my favorite banana-based ice creams were banana + peanut butter or banana + lemon + ginger + maple syrup…but this one takes the trophy easily! Iโ€™m team almond myself, just like you mom ๐Ÿ˜‰ Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe. Warms regards from Brazil!

    1. Demeter | Beaming Baker says:

      Woohoo!! Team Almond forever! ๐Ÿ˜‰ By the way, banana + peanut butter or banana + lemon + ginger + maple syrup sound SO good together. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and let me know how this turned out for you. Big hugs from Boston! ๐Ÿ™‚

  5. Anne says:

    You are becoming my favorite destination for dessert inspiration! Thank you Demeter!

    1. Demeter | Beaming Baker says:

      Aw, that’s so sweet of you to say! Thank you, Ashley! ๐Ÿ™‚

  7. Amber says:

    What would be a good substitute for the bananas? Thank you! ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. Demeter | Beaming Baker says:

      Hi Amber, you can try using frozen riced cauliflower (it becomes creamy when frozen) and increase the maple syrup a bit to make up for the loss of sugar, or frozen yogurt cubes. Lastly, you can try using frozen mangoes–they become nice and creamy when blended–but the ice cream will taste like mangoes. I haven’t tried these subs, so I can’t make any guarantees. Good luck!

      1. Julie says:

        Would you say…8oz of frozen non-dairy yogurt?

      2. Julie says:

        How much frozen yogurt would you say would be equivalent to the 3 bananas?

      3. Demeter | Beaming Baker says:

        Hi Julie! Yep, 3 bananas is a little over 1 cup (once it’s all mashed up). Can’t wait to hear how this turns out for you!

  8. Cindy says:

    Found the measurements !

    1. Demeter | Beaming Baker says:

      Wonderful! Can’t wait to hear what you think, Cindy! ๐Ÿ™‚

  9. Cindy says:

    Looks really good! Is there measurements for he ingredients listed anywhere? I watched the video a few times but would ike to measure out ingredients when first learning a new recipe.
    Thanks
    Cindy

  10. Sissy says:

    Looks good! Can you taste the bananas in it?

    1. Demeter | Beaming Baker says:

      Hi Sissy, thanks! The riper the bananas, the more you’ll taste them in this ice cream. ๐Ÿ˜‰
