Scoop the cream from the top of a can of coconut milk. You can use full fat or lite. For this recipe today, I used full fat coconut cream.
Measure the coconut cream, oat milk, maple syrup, instant coffee crystals, and vanilla extract to a two cup measuring cup. Mix together.
Slice bananas and add to the measuring cup ensuring the level DOES NOT go above the 2-cup mark.
Add to the Ninja Cream Inner container. Put the lid on and freeze upright for 24 hours.
After 24 hours, remove the frozen concoction from the freezer and process in the Ninja Cream on the "Lite Ice Cream" setting. Check to see if it is powdery after processing and do a re-spin if necessary.
If you are adding the optional chocolate shaving, grate about 2-4 Tablespoons of dairy-free chocolate bar. I used three Tablespoons in my recipe. Make a "well" or tube in the center of the frozen mixture all the way to the bottom of the container. Add the chocolate shavings and process as "add in".
Notes
If you are using a different ice cream maker other than the Ninja Creami, you will need to blend everything together including the bananas before processing in the freezer you are using. If you are using the (highly recommended) Ninja Creami, you can just slice the bananas into your mixture before freezing. The Ninja Creami will take care of blending and mashing the bananas as it processes.Make sure when adding the bananas that the level does not exceed the 2-cup mark. Processing a too-full container might damage your Creami - and that would be sad.You will definitely have extra coconut milk leftover. Use in another Creami recipe - I'll be posting more. Or freeze into ice cubes to use in a smoothie. The serving size is a ridiculous one-half cup. I don't know about you, but my serving size is definitely larger! Adjust the nutrition accordingly if yours is as well.
