Banana “ice cream” has been our dessert of choice lately. It’s so easy to whip up in the food processor in just minutes. It’s dairy-free. It’s super yummy. And with no added sugars, I can feel good about serving it to my kids whenever they want it. There is something about the way I feel when I see my little one enjoying a healthy treat that I made for her.
Today’s version is Strawberry Coco-Banana.
PrintStrawberry Coco-Banana Ice Cream (dairy-free)
- Yield: 2 1x
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, frozen
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 2 TBS full-fat coconut milk (canned)
- 1 TBS coconut oil (like this)
FOR GARNISH
- shredded coconut (like this), unsweetened
Instructions
- Puree bananas, coconut oil, and 2 TBS coconut milk in food processor until creamy smooth
- Add strawberries and process until well combined and desired consistency (add more coconut milk if needed)
- Serve immediately or store in freezer
Notes
Slicing bananas into small pieces before freezing will make processing them easier. For best results, defrost bananas for 5-10 minutes before processing And if you store in freezer for later, let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

I love my frozen desserts that are similar, and the addition of coconut milk/oil is great. Going to make this next time!

I’ve been on a restricted diet without dairy, and this sounds like a great alternative to ice cream for me. Thanks for sharing the recipe and the luscious photos.

You have a Moomin cup for your ice cream! Sorry that got me really excited. I love Moomins!
Thanks for the recipe as well – I can’t eat dairy all of a sudden and the thing I miss the most is ice cream.
Katja says
ha!! didn’t think anyone else knew what a Moomin is. I am originally from Finland. My mom brought me the cute cups back from Finland for my kids. How do you know what a Moomin is?
Joanna B says

Katja says

I’ve made plain banana ice cream like this before, but I love the strawberry coconut twist you’ve added. We’re in the middle of strawberry season over here, so I have to try it!
