Valentines day coconut ice cream

By far the hardest food I have had to take a picture of! This ice cream was well worth it as it tastes great!

Whether you celebrate valentines day or not this ice cream is delish and quick to make. Its probably better if you have an ice cream machine but I found that it worked well just popping it in the freezer for an hour or so but no more than that (essentially this is a frozen smoothie).

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day!

What you need

  • 2 cans coconut milk
  • 1 big banana
  • 1tsp cinamon
  • 4 dates
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence

How to

  1. Chop and freeze the banana
  2. chill the coconut milk in the fridge (preferably overnight but I used an hour or two)
  3. drain off any water in the coconut cans
  4. de-pit the dates
  5. put all the ingredients in the blender and mix
  6. put back in fridge for an hour or so, but dont leave it too long so it gets completely solid
  7. serve topped with mint and chopped brazil nuts or as a side to our Macadamia Chocolate Cake
  8. if you want a pink version for valentines day, add some pink berries to the blend!

Alternative to ice cream for valentines, why not mix up some quick, delicious Chocolate Date Truffles.
