Ingredients

  • 10 ripe medium bananas (2kg), cut into 1cm (½in) thick slices
  • 1 1/2 cups cups (375ml) canned coconut milk
  • 2 small sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Method

  • 1
    Place banana slices on two large baking-paper-lined oven trays. Cover and freeze overnight or until firm.
  • 2
    Stir coconut milk, rosemary and honey in a small saucepan over low-medium heat; bring to a simmer. Simmer gently for 5 minutes. Remove pan from the heat; stand, covered, for at least 20 minutes. Remove rosemary sprigs; discard 1 sprig. Pick leaves from remaining sprig; reserve.
  • 3
    Blend banana in a high-powered blender until very finely chopped. Add ⅔ cup (160ml) of the coconut milk mixture and the reserved rosemary leaves. Blend until mixture forms a soft-serve ice-cream texture, scraping down the side, if required.
  • 4
    Spoon banana mixture into glasses or bowls; drizzle with remaining coconut milk mixture. Serve.

Notes

The texture of the nice-cream is best as soon as it is made, but it can be made and frozen up to 2 days ahead.
