This vegan banana ice cream is the only ice cream recipe that can be done within an hour. Fresh ripe bananas topped with sweetened coconut milk, crunchy roasted nuts, and shredded coconut. The ultimate one-of-a-kind dessert treat that is super easy to accomplish.
This homemade banana ice cream does not require an ice cream maker (or cooking appliances). You only need to combine a few ingredients with a super ripe banana; then, it's ready to eat after only an hour of freezing.
Ripe and spotty bananas can be unappealing to some, but they are the best for making dessert or sweet treats. Not limited to ice cream only, these over-ripe fruits are also the perfect choice for homemade banana bread or glutinous rice banana cake.

Step-by-step instructions
Combine coconut milk, tapioca starch, salt, and sugar in a small saucepan. Simmer the mixture until everything is dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
Roughly chop roasted cashews (or any choice of your favorite nuts). I use the Tupperware chopper - it is the best and does the job perfectly.
- Put a peeled banana inside a Ziploc. Use a small cutting board or heavy plate to press down on the banana slowly.
- The ideal thickness of the banana should be half an inch.
- Put about 2 tbsp of coconut milk mixture on each side of the banana. Followed by chopped cashews and coconut flakes.
- Repeat these steps with the rest of the ingredients.
- Seal the Ziploc and put it in the freezer. The ice cream will be ready to eat in around 30-45 minutes.

Hi I have a question I accidentally forgot to simmer all the ingredients before and just spread them out on the flattened banana can I still eat it after
Hi Noor,
Yes, you can still eat them, just don't consume a large amount of uncooked tapioca starch, it could be harmful. If there is children involved, i would make another batch just to be sure.
