If you don't have an ice cream maker, I really suggest you get one. I use mine several times a week.
Now this recipe says "sugar free" it is free of processed sugar and only contains natural sugar that is in the fruit. I love using Coconut Nectar to sweeten the ice cream because it adds sweetness and tropical flavor.
Lite Tropical Ice Cream
1 1/2 cups frozen mango
1 fresh banana
1/4 cup coconut nectar
1/2 cup water
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Optional: Fresh Mint for garnish

Christi, this ice cream looks delicious. My son is type 1 diabetic & I am always looking for good ice cream recipes to use our hardly used ice cream maker:)

Thank you Bibi!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a perfect ice cream for me because it is low sugar. I have to jump back on the "ice creaming" horse. I had such bad luck with my ice cream maker the first few times I used it last... I have been hesitant to use it this summer. Total user error on my part, I'm sure. Have a great weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteHi christi. Where do you get coconut nectar ?
ReplyDeleteOoh, yummy! This cool ice cream is just what is needed amongst all the crazy humidity we've been experiencing in OC! What is coconut nectar and where may I purchase it?
ReplyDeleteIt sure has been humid! I get my coconut nectar at sprouts. Can also order it from them directly at http://www.coconutsecret.com/nectar2.html
