Vegan Banana Coconut Ice Cream Recipe

Name: Vegan Banana Coconut Ice Cream Recipe
Prep time: 5 min
Yield: 1 quart
Ingredients: 6 very ripe medium bananas (about 2 1/2 pounds), peeled; 1 tablespoon lemon juice from half a lemon; 1 cup coconut milk; 3/4 cup light corn syrup; 1/4 cup virgin coconut oil (see note); 1 tablespoon dark rum; 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Note: The bananas for this recipe should be very, very ripe—soft with ample brown spots on the peel. Use virgin coconut oil if you can find it. The ice cream will taste more intensely of coconut.

If your diet prohibits white sugar refined with bone char, feel free to substitute an equal volume of raw (turbinado) sugar here.
