Banana Ice Cream

In warm weather, this dessert is a favorite with everyone. Ripe bananas are glycemic, but what the heck--it's still a fairly safe summer treat. Try serving with raspberry coulis.

Step 1

Combine the coconut milk, xylitol, vanilla extract, xanthan gum, and eggs in your blender and mix well.

Step 2

Meanwhile, mash the bananas with a fork, together with the lemon juice, and add to the blender. Mix all together.

Step 3

Place the mixture in an ice cream maker and proceed following the instructions of the machine. If you don't have an ice cream maker, then just place the mixture in a bowl, which you then place in the freezer. In this case, you need, from time to time, to fold the frozen edges in towards the middle and so entrain air bubbles to lighten the mixture. Do this after 1 hour, once more after the second hour, and then every 30 minutes for the next 2 hours.
