Ah, banana-coconut ice cream … the name alone makes you want to escape to the tropics, doesn't it? It's a smooth and creamy blend, with the banana adding body and the coconut adding an irresistible exotic touch. It's a perfect dessert for tropical lovers, and honestly, with Ninja Creami, it's so easy to make, you'll want to make it all summer long!
Ingredients :
- 2 very ripe bananas (the riper they are, the sweeter they will be and perfect for ice cream)
- 100 ml coconut milk (opt for creamy coconut milk, not light)
- 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 shreds 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 chunks. The riper they are, the more natural sweetness they will add 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 you get a smooth and creamy texture. You'll already be able to smell the tropical scent of coconut—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, put it in the freezer for 24 hours (yes, it takes a little patience, but it's so worth it!). - Turbine with the Ice Cream program
After waiting 24 hours, insert the container into the Ninja Creami and select the "Ice Cream" . A few minutes later, you will have ice cream with a silky 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 necessary for an even creamier texture.
My Personal Tip:
For an even more tropical touch, add some toasted coconut shavings on top. If you want a little something extra, serve this ice cream with a drizzle of melted chocolate or even chunks of exotic fruit like fresh pineapple. It transforms this dessert into a true explosion of flavors!
Banana-coconut ice cream is a super simple dessert to make, but so delicious! The banana adds an incredible natural sweetness and the coconut transports you straight to the tropics. With Ninja Creami, you get an ultra-creamy texture, perfect for all your summer cravings (or to escape a little in winter too!).
