This Banana Coconut Milk Nice Cream is a refreshing, dairy-free, and naturally sweetened frozen dessert made with frozen bananas, coconut milk, and tropical fruit like mango or pineapple. It’s creamy, delicious, and perfect for a healthy treat or vegan dessert, topped with toasted coconut flakes and optional homemade coconut whipped cream.

Ingredients

Fruits

  • 1/2 cup peeled and diced mango or pineapple
  • 2 frozen bananas

Liquid & Flavorings

  • 3/4 to 1 cup coconut milk or full fat coconut cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • optional 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup (to sweeten more)

Toppings

  • Homemade coconut whipped cream topping
  • Unsweetened coconut flakes or toasted coconut

Instructions

  1. Prepare Fruit: Peel and dice the mango or pineapple into small pieces suitable for freezing and blending.
  2. Freeze Coconut Milk Cubes: Fill the wells of an ice cube tray halfway with coconut milk, then place a piece of diced fruit inside each well. Freeze until fully solid.
  3. Blend Ingredients: Once the coconut milk cubes are frozen, add them along with the frozen bananas to a high-speed blender. Add fresh or ground ginger and maple syrup if using. Blend on high speed, being patient as this may take some time to reach a smooth creamy soft serve consistency. Scrape down the blender edges as necessary to ensure even blending.
  4. Serve Immediately or Freeze: Serve the nice cream immediately for a soft serve texture. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a lined bread pan and freeze to set for a firmer, no-churn ice cream style.
  5. Thaw if Frozen: If frozen solid, let the nice cream thaw at room temperature for about 10 minutes before scooping to soften.
  6. Top and Enjoy: Serve scoops in bowls or cones, topped with toasted coconut flakes and a dollop of homemade coconut whipped cream for extra decadence.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creamy texture.
  • The ginger adds a subtle spicy warmth; adjust amount based on preference.
  • Maple syrup is optional but enhances sweetness if desired.
  • Freezing the coconut milk around diced fruit creates flavorful frozen cubes that blend well.
  • High-speed blender is recommended to achieve smooth texture.
  • Soft serve can be eaten immediately; freezing longer yields a more traditional ice cream texture.
  • Let frozen nice cream thaw slightly before scooping to avoid hardness.
