Mango Coconut Nice Cream Recipe

By Autumn Ongaro | Evolving Autumn

Ingredients

4 medium-sized, very ripe bananas, sliced and frozen
40 drops Hedessent Mango Flavouring
25 drops Hedessent Coconut Flavouring
milk of choice for blending
Pinch salt

Instructions

Place all ingredients (minus milk) into the food processor. Blend for about one minute, or until the frozen bananas have become smooth and creamy, like the texture of soft-serve ice cream.
If the mixture is difficult to blend, add milk, 1 tbsp at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
Add to serving bowls and top with coconut chips (optional). Best enjoyed when fresh, but leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the freezer for up to one month. Let it thaw and soften for 10 minutes before serving.
