Ah, banana-coconut ice cream … just the name makes you dream of a tropical escape, doesn't it? It's a smooth and creamy blend, with banana providing body and coconut adding an irresistible exotic touch. It's the perfect dessert for lovers of tropical flavors, and frankly, with Ninja Creami, it's so easy to make that you'll want to make it all summer long!
Ingredients :
- 2 very ripe bananas (the riper they are, the sweeter they will be and the more perfect they will be for ice cream)
- 100 ml of coconut milk (opt for full-fat coconut milk, not low-fat)
- 150 ml coconut cream (for even more richness)
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup (or adjust to taste)
- A pinch of salt (optional, but it always brings out the flavors!)
- A few shavings of toasted coconut (optional, but it's the little extra that makes all the difference)
Preparation :
- Prepare the bananas.
Peel the bananas and cut them into pieces. The riper they are, the more natural sweetness they will give to your ice cream. - Blend the ingredients.
In a blender, combine the banana pieces, coconut milk, coconut cream, agave syrup, and a pinch of salt. Blend well until smooth and creamy. You'll already smell the tropical coconut aroma—it's simply magical! - Pour into the Ninja Creami container.
Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami container, taking care not to exceed the MAX FILL . Then, place it in the freezer for 24 hours (yes, it requires a little patience, but it's so worth it!). - Churn with the Ice Cream program.
After the 24-hour waiting period, insert the container into the Ninja Creami and select the "Ice Cream" . A few minutes later, you'll have ice cream with a silky-smooth and delicious texture. - Respin Tip:
If the ice cream is a little too firm after the first cycle, don't panic, use the "Respin" to soften the texture. You can add 30 ml of coconut milk if needed for an even creamier texture.
My Personal Tip:
For an even more tropical touch, add a few toasted coconut flakes on top. If you want an extra something, serve this ice cream with a drizzle of melted chocolate or even pieces of exotic fruit like fresh pineapple. It transforms this dessert into a real explosion of flavors!
Banana-coconut ice cream is such a simple dessert to make, yet so delicious! The banana adds incredible natural sweetness, and the coconut instantly transports you to the tropics. With Ninja Creami, you get an ultra-creamy texture, perfect for all your summer cravings (or for a little winter escape too!).
