Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas (frozen)
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/4 cup canned coconut milk (full-fat)
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Ensure the bananas are fully frozen, along with the mango and pineapple chunks, to achieve the creamy texture for the nicecream.
- Blend Ingredients: Add the frozen bananas, mango, pineapple, coconut milk, lime juice, and sea salt to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides for even mixing.
- Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too thick to blend easily, add a small splash of additional coconut milk and continue blending until smooth.
- Serve or Freeze: For a soft-serve texture, serve the nicecream immediately. For a firmer texture, transfer it to a container and freeze for 1 to 2 hours before scooping and enjoying.
- Optional Garnish: Top with chopped tropical fruits, granola, fresh mint leaves, or shredded coconut to enhance flavor and texture.
Notes
- Add fresh mint leaves or shredded coconut before blending for extra flavor.
- Top with chopped tropical fruits or granola for texture contrast.
- If coconut milk is not available, canned full-fat coconut cream can be used as a substitute.
- Use ripe bananas as they add natural sweetness and creaminess.
