Coconut Pecan “Ice Cream”

Ingredients

½ can full fat organic coconut milk

1 ½ frozen bananas

½ tspn vanilla extract

Hearty pinch sea salt

½ cup chopped toasted pecans

Optional: 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Method

Combine coconut milk, frozen bananas, vanilla and salt in blender and blend until smooth. For perfectly formed ice cream, pour into a pre-frozen ice cream machine for about 20 minutes (you can skip this step for ice cream that may not form into perfect scoops but will still be delicious). Stir in chopped pecans and serve with an optional drizzle of maple syrup.
