Ingredients

  • 4 ripe bananas, peeled, sliced, frozen
  • 2 cups frozen mango chunks
  • 1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup toasted shredded coconut (for topping)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Let 4 peeled, sliced, frozen ripe bananas and 2 cups frozen mango chunks sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly - this helps the blender process them smoothly.

  2. 2

    Add the ripe bananas, frozen mango chunks, 1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk, 2 tsp fresh lime juice, and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract to a high-speed blender or food processor.

  3. 3

    Blend, starting on low and increasing to high, scraping down the sides as needed, until completely smooth and creamy - about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Taste and add more lime juice or vanilla if desired.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately as soft-serve, scooped into bowls and topped with 1/4 cup toasted shredded coconut (for topping). For firmer nice cream, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1-2 hours before scooping.
