3 medium bananas sliced and frozen
½ cup coconut cream*
1-2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ cup unsweetened coconut shreds or flakes
¼ cup + 2 tablespoons chopped paleo chocolate or vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

Add bananas to a food processor. Here is the food processor I use. Blend until crumbly.
Add coconut cream, maple syrup and vanilla, blending until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
Add coconut & chocolate**, blending until just incorporated (2-4 pulses).
If you like super soft, melty ice cream, enjoy immediately. If you want your ice cream firm and scoopable: pour into a freezer-friendly, airtight container. Freeze for 3-6 hours, or until completely frozen. Allow to thaw for 5-15 minutes before scooping. Enjoy!

Notes

Here is the food processor I use to make this ice cream!

*You can use canned coconut cream, or do the following: Allow a can of full-fat coconut milk to settle for 1-3 days—set it in a stable, cool environment. Open the can and scoop the firm, creamy white part off the top—this is the coconut cream. The translucent liquid is coconut juice.

**For 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 blender. Pulse a few times to combine. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.

Storing Instructions: Keep in the freezer-friendly container, in the freezer for 3-5 days. Best on the first day, still good in the first 3 days. Okay through Day 5.
