Instructions
- Add Brazil nuts, lite coconut cream, vanilla extract, bananas, and pitted dates in a high-speed blender like a Vitamix.Blend the ingredients on high until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Pour the blended mixture into ice cube trays, distributing it evenly. (You will need 3- 4 ice cube tray holders)Place the ice cube trays in the freezer and let them freeze completely.
- Once the ice cream base cubes are frozen, remove them from the ice cube trays. and blend them with an equal amount of frozen fruit in a food processor. Blend the mixture in the food processor until a thick and creamy ice cream texture forms.
- Scoop the soft serve ice cream into cones or individual bowls and enjoy it immediately.
Notes
I use 1 cup of the ice cream cubes mixed with 1 cup of frozen fruit at a time to make 2 ice cream cones. If you like a creamier texture use more ice cream cubes and if you like a fresher fruit flavor add more frozen fruit to customize to your liking!
