Ingredients

  • 1 recipe Banana Ice Cream

  • 2 cup crisp rice cereal

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 2 tablespoon coconut oil, melted

  • 2 tablespoon honey

  • Topper(s), such as berries, sliced peaches, and/or chopped nuts

Banana Ice Cream

  • 4 medium bananas, peeled, sliced, and frozen

  • ¼ cup refrigerated unsweetened coconut milk

  • 2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

  1. Prepare Banana Ice Cream. Place in freezer until needed.

  2. For crust, line a 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper. In a medium bowl stir together cereal and cocoa powder. Stir in oil and honey. Spread into a 10-inch circle in prepared pan. Freeze 5 to 10 minutes or until firm.

  3. If necessary, let ice cream stand at room temperature just until soft enough to spread. Spread ice cream over crust to within 1 inch of the edges; add topper(s). Freeze 20 to 30 minutes or until ice cream is nearly firm.

Banana Ice Cream

  1. In a food processor combine all of the ingredients.* Cover and process until smooth. Serve immediately for a soft-serve ice cream, or freeze at least 4 hours for a scoopable ice cream. Store in freezer up to 1 week.

It's best to use the bananas directly from the freezer without letting them thaw.
