Banana Coconut Ice Cream

3 frozen bananas
1/4 cup shredded or flaked coconut (1 ounce)
1/4 cup dried unsweetened fruit (I use cherries or raisins)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon organic chocolate powder (optional)
1 teaspoon + coconut cream concentrate
1/4 cup filtered water

Place all ingredients in a VERY STRONG blender and blend starting a low speed, working up to the highest speed until all is mixed and is the consistency of ice cream.

If needed, add a couple ice cubes to thicken and chill.

This makes a generous serving for two.

For health reasons, we use only organic cocoa powder.  It is also known as cocao or chocolate powder.  It does not make the ice cream bitter.  The bananas and the dried fruit make this a sweet treat.

I was just wondering if you add just plain cocoa, or sweetened cocoa to the ice cream. Won’t the plain cocoa make it bitter, or do the bananas provide the sweetness? Just curious!

I usually eat this as soon as I make it, but I have also frozen it for later use.  It’s like eating an ice cream bar.  YUMMY!!!!!
