Now, let’s talk about this “ice cream”. The base is made with blended frozen bananas and coconut milk – but only the top fatty part of the coconut milk can, making this perfect for those of you following a dairy free diet!

Quick tip: refrigerate your can of coconut milk the night before. When you’re ready to use, the coconut fat will have floated to the top and will be easier to scoop out. 

And let’s not forget about one essential flavor in this recipe – chamomile tea. The organic teas by Signature Tea Co. were the perfect addition – it made the ice cream floral and herbaceous at the same time and tea in recipes is a trend this year, so your friends and family will be impressed with the sophisticated flavor. And even better, you can find these teas at Walmart!

Frozen bananas are something I always have in my freezer, and you should as well. I use the very sharp and colorful Chicago Cutlery knives to cut bananas into slices and then froze them in one layer on a baking sheet. These knives were great for the job – I’ve been using them around my kitchen for weeks and their performance is quite fantastic!

Store your ice cream in an airtight container like Rubbermaid and as a professional cook, nothing goes unlabeled in our kitchen – Sharpies are the perfect tool for that and I’m loving the Sharpie Extreme line that is fade resistant.
