Banana Coconut “Ice Cream”

This is a very creamy dairy free luxury. 

Ingredients

3 cups total, approximately ½ each:
Frozen overripe peeled banana (MUST be frozen for the proper texture)
Coconut milk and cream (I prefer half of each, from the red can of Thai Kitchen)

A big thank you to ThaiBlend in a high-powered blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec.  (If you have an ordinary blender, you will have to use more coconut milk and will end up with a more ice milk consistency.)   If you are happy with a smoothie, you may stop here.  If not, pour it into a pre-chilled ice cream maker.  I use a Cuisinart.  I cover up the hole at the top loosely with a lid to a pot because otherwise it loses its chill too quickly.  Let the mix churn about 20 minutes, then scoop out with a rubber spatula so you don’t damage the finish of the ice cream maker and either eat immediately or freeze a few minutes to improve the consistency.
