Roasted Banana Ice Cream (dairy free)

Jump to Recipe

dairy free ice cream, paleo, roasted banana

Have you ever smelled caramelized bananas roasting in the oven?  I can’t even begin to describe the smell. Pure heaven! Introducing my new favorite dairy free ice cream: Roasted Banana Ice Cream.This recipe has been on my mind for over a year ago.  And yesterday I finally made it.  All I can say is “WHOA!”  I do believe that I have a new favorite dairy free ice cream.  My mouth is watering just thinking about it right now.

I came across this recipe for a roasted banana ice cream over a year.  I filed it in the back of my mind to make for later.  And since the weather has been super amazing and since I had a huge pile of extra ripe bananas on the counter, it was time to try it.

I love when recipes exceed my expectations.  This is hands down the richest and creamiest dairy free ice cream that I have made.  Creamy coconut milk mixed with bananas caramelized with coconut sugar = sooooooo good!  I had no idea how amazing roasted bananas could be.  I’m already thinking of more recipes to use them in.

This is not a fancy looking ice cream.  The ingredient list is simple.  And the process is fun- especially watching the coconut sugar and coconut oil caramelize around the bananas.  Oh, did I mention the smell?

I have personally found that I like the texture of dairy free ice cream when I add a titch of grass fed gelatin to it.  This step is totally optional but totally worth it.  It makes the ice cream less “icy.”  I like to make the mixture the night before to give it ample time to completely cool.

I’m a purist when it comes to my ice cream.  No extra toppings or sauces.  But if you feel inspired, I bet this ice cream would be amazing with some roasted nuts or chocolate chips.  Kind of like a nice slice of banana bread.

So next time you have some super ripe bananas, remember what I said about the smell of caramelizing bananas.  You will be hooked!

xo,

Katja

Roasted Banana Ice Cream (dairy free)

Pin Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 ripe bananas, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
  • 6 tbsp coconut sugar (like this)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil (like this), melted
  • 2 tsp gelatin (like this) (optional)
  • 1/4 cup water (optional)
  • 3 cups full fat coconut milk (where to get BPA free coconut milk)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp unrefined salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400’F.
  2. Spread sliced bananas into a 9×12 baking dish. Drizzle on melted coconut oil and sprinkle on coconut sugar. Toss to evenly coat.
  3. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until bananas are browned and the liquid is bubbling. Be sure to stir the bananas one time halfway through baking.
  4. FOR OPTIONAL GELATIN: While bananas are baking, place 1/4 cup water in a small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over the surface and allow to soften for at least 10 minutes.
  5. Once bananas are done, place coconut milk, vanilla, and salt into a blender. Add the gelatin mixture. Then scrape in the entire pan of roasted bananas and bubbly juices. Blend until completely smooth. Place in fridge to cool completely- best overnight.
  6. Pour into ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  7. Serve immediately as soft serve. OR place into freezer safe container and freeze until firm enough to scoop. (I like to firmly press a piece of parchment paper over the top of ice cream to help avoid freezer burn.)

i wish i had understood this 10 years ago at the b i wish i had understood this 10 years ago at the beginning of my healing journey 

healing, digestion, and rest are all parasympathetic processes • if the body is in a chronic stress state, these things do not happen 

chronic stress produces stress hormones that created physiological changes in the body (increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, increased blood sugar levels) • these changes take the focus away from digestion and repair 

reducing and eliminating the triggers that create constant stress on the body is crucial to being able to heal • because the body does not let go or heal when it doesn’t feel safe 

how to create safety in the body? —-> addressing life stress, woundings/traumas, underlying infections, toxicities (heavy metals, plastics, etc), nutritional deficiencies, environmental hazards like mold, and anything else that is constantly triggering the body to feel unsafe
💗 start with the basics • your well-being is 💗 start with the basics • your well-being is only as strong as the foundation you build it on 

💗 your mental and physical health is determined by the bed rock you have to lean on when “stress” happens 

💗 building resilience in the body and mind is how you navigate difficult situations 

💗 if you are not where you want to be in life, in health, in mindset... consider going back to the basics 

💗 the basics:

- the food you eat 
- the water you drink 
- your quality of sleep
- your daily movement
- your daily mindset
- your level of stress
- the quality of your breath 
- your drainage pathways 
- the people you surround yourself with 

💗 absolutely no judgement here • we are all in different seasons of life • just a loving reminder that a strong foundation is necessary to build upon
