Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the bananas and slice them into coin-sized pieces.
- Place the banana slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze the banana slices for at least 2-3 hours or until they are completely frozen.
- Once the banana slices are frozen, transfer them to a food processor or high-speed blender.
- Add the coconut milk, spearmint leaves, and lime juice to the bananas.
- Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender or processor a few times to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
- If the mixture is too thick, you can add a bit more coconut milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Scoop the Pina Colada Nice Cream into bowls or cups.
- Garnish with extra mint leaves, a sprinkle of lime zest, or shredded coconut if desired.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy, refreshing treat. If you need to store it, keep it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week. Allow it to soften slightly at room temperature before serving again.
Tips:
- Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness and creaminess.
- For a thicker texture, freeze the bananas and coconut milk beforehand.
- Blend the mixture until it's completely smooth for a creamy consistency.
- If you prefer a stronger coconut flavor, use full-fat coconut milk.
- Add a splash of rum extract for an authentic Pina Colada taste, if desired.
- Serve immediately for soft-serve consistency or freeze for a firmer texture.
- Garnish with a sprig of mint or a lime wedge for an extra touch of freshness and presentation.
