This ice cream was my first attempt in trying to make an ice cream with coconut milk. I made it almost two years back and was  lying in my drafts for a long time. I made this before I got my ice cream maker so had to blend the coconut milk and banana mixture to prevent crystallizing and to get a nice texture. But the only draw back was it tastes so yummy, I couldn’t resist myself in having few spoons of this mixture each time I blended it.  Very easy to make and tastes absolutely superb. But using the ice cream maker definitely makes a huge difference in the texture of the ice cream. So come summer, when you try all different treats, make sure to try this easy one and let me know how you liked it.
