Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium frozen bananas, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup frozen strawberries, hulled
- 1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional toppings: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, fresh strawberry slices, dark chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Peel and slice bananas before freezing for at least 4 hours or overnight. Hull and freeze strawberries if not using pre-frozen.
- Add frozen banana slices to a high-speed blender or food processor. Pulse a few times, then blend continuously for 1-2 minutes until soft-serve consistency is reached. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Add frozen strawberries, coconut milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup (if using), lemon juice, and sea salt. Blend for another 1-2 minutes until well combined and creamy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired. If too thick, add a splash more coconut milk and blend briefly.
- Spoon the nice cream into bowls and serve immediately for a soft texture, or freeze for 30 minutes to 1 hour for a firmer scoop.
Notes
Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess. Freeze fruit fully for best texture. If blender is low-powered, pulse and scrape often. Adjust sweetness to taste. Optional toppings add texture and flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week; thaw 5-10 minutes before serving.
