How to Choose Ripe Bananas
- You can use any type of banana for this recipe, but plantains (sứ bananas), Cavendish bananas, or even regular bananas will be sweeter and more flavorful.
- Choose bananas that are just ripe. Underripe bananas will be astringent, and overripe bananas will be excessively sweet and less pleasant.
- Naturally ripened bananas are healthier and will have dark yellow peels with brown or black spots. They should feel soft when gently squeezed.
- Avoid bruised or excessively large bananas, as these may contain excessive pesticides or growth hormones.

1. Roast and Crush Peanuts
Heat a pan over low heat. Add peanuts and roast until the skins crackle and they become fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
Once cool, remove the skins and roughly crush the peanuts. Do not crush them too finely.
-
2. Prepare Bananas
Peel bananas, remove any stringy bits, and cut in half lengthwise. Cut larger bananas lengthwise again. Smaller bananas only need to be halved lengthwise.
Flatten the bananas with a knife to about 1/3 inch thickness.

3. Make the Coconut Milk Mixture
In a saucepan, combine 300 ml canned coconut milk, 50 ml sweetened condensed milk, and 15 g sugar. Mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together 15 g tapioca starch/flour with 30 ml water.
Place the saucepan over low heat. Once simmering, add 5 g vanilla extract. Then, add the tapioca starch mixture and stir until it comes to a simmer again. Stir in 150 ml unsweetened milk and cook until it gently simmers at the edges. Do not let it boil vigorously.
The mixture will thicken. Remove from heat and let cool or warm.
-
4. Assemble the Ice Cream
Prepare a glass or plastic container for the ice cream.
Add a layer of the coconut milk mixture to the container. Arrange the flattened bananas on top, then add another layer of the coconut milk mixture. Sprinkle with roasted peanuts and coconut flakes. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used.
Cover the container and freeze for 4-6 hours, or until solid.

Tips for Success
- Use canned coconut milk. Freshly squeezed coconut milk has a higher water content, which can result in icy ice cream.
- Avoid boiling the milk vigorously, as this can destroy nutrients.
- If the ice cream is too hard the next day, let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.
- Since this recipe makes a solid block of ice cream, you cannot stir it to prevent ice crystals. If you want to avoid ice crystals, you can substitute sweetened condensed milk and canned coconut milk for the fresh milk and coconut milk, but this will be more expensive.
This creamy and refreshing dessert is super simple to make. Give it a try—we hope you succeed!
