Coconut Ginger Banana Ice Cream
Coconut Ginger Banana Ice Cream is made easy, healthy and doesn’t require an ice cream maker! It’s naturally sweetened with pure maple syrup and ready in under 5 minutes.
If you have followed my blog long enough, you know that I love my banana ice creams! You may already be familiar with this Almond Chunky Monkey or Banana Cherry Garcia. The reason I love them so much is because they are so easy to make and you need an ice cream maker.
I make due by blending up bananas with all kinds of fun ingredients using a food processor (a blender would do fine too). They can be served as a soft-serve, or frozen for a few hours and scooped out like ice cream. The best of both worlds. Just blend your ingredients and enjoy now or later. Easy and done!
How To Make Coconut Ginger Banana Ice Cream
This recipe came about on a whim. I threw these ingredients together and it worked beautifully (of course, this combo is a no-brainer!). My taste buds were extremely pleased and if you love these ingredients, yours will be too!
What you’ll need:
- 3 frozen bananas
- 2 – 3 tablespoons coconut butter, coconut milk* or 3 tablespoons shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- splash or two of unsweetened vanilla almond milk
Put it all together:
Place ingredients into your food processor/blender, except milk, process, adding milk as needed through the feeder to help move the mixture around, blend until fairly smooth and creamy.
For soft-serve: Scoop into bowls and enjoy right away.
For ice cream: Place mixture into a freezer-safe container, cover and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours before serving. Scoop out like ice cream and serve.
Serve with mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut or whatever you like!

Notes
*Canned coconut milk should be chilled before using, store the remaining in the refrigerator for up to a week.
If using shredded coconut, place in food processor/blender and blend until finely shredded or creamy.
Try not to over blend, it will become almost frothy. I personally didn’t care for over blending.
Adjust ingredients to suit your taste.

What do you mean 1 T ginger? Fresh and grated, powdered, juiced?? I have no idea what that could mean. Amazed Im the first to ask.
That would be minced fresh ginger. Thanks for pointing that out, I’ve clarified in the recipe card. Enjoy!
