Tips:

  • Choose Ripe Bananas: Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best flavor and sweetness in your ice cream.
  • Freeze Bananas in Advance: Peel and slice the bananas and freeze them for at least 2 hours or overnight before making the ice cream. This will help them blend more smoothly and give the ice cream a creamier texture.
  • Use Full-Fat Coconut Milk: Full-fat coconut milk will give your ice cream a richer, creamier flavor and texture. If you use lite coconut milk, your ice cream may be icy or watery.
  • Add Sweetener to Taste: The amount of sweetener you add to your ice cream will depend on the ripeness of your bananas and your personal preference. Start with 1/4 cup of sweetener and add more to taste.
  • Use High-Quality Mint Extract: A good-quality mint extract will give your ice cream a more intense, flavorful mint flavor. Avoid using artificial mint flavoring, which can taste harsh and chemical.
  • Chill the Ice Cream Maker Bowl: Make sure to chill the ice cream maker bowl according to the manufacturer's instructions before churning the ice cream. This will help the ice cream freeze more quickly and smoothly.
  • Churn the Ice Cream Until Thick and Creamy: Churn the ice cream according to the manufacturer's instructions, or until it is thick and creamy. Over-churning can make the ice cream icy or grainy.
  • Transfer the Ice Cream to a Freezer-Safe Container: Once the ice cream is churned, transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze it for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the ice cream to firm up and develop its full flavor.
  • Serve the Ice Cream with Your Favorite Toppings: Serve the ice cream with your favorite toppings, such as chocolate chips, sprinkles, or whipped cream.
