BREAKFAST | CHUNKY MONKEY BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM ๐ ๐๐จ
When life gives you bananas make a banana nice cream for breakfast! If you have been following my blog a little then you may know we are having a banana overload. Though there isn't really a banana season, they grow year-round, at this point, we have so many trees ready for harvest.
Happy days, happy friends and happy neighbors..... and the best part...ICE CREAM FOR BREAKFAST! Yipee!!!
How are you guys enjoying the summer months? This week has been a bit busy as we are turning our tuk-tuk into a mobile bakery. While the original plan was opening a coffee shop as soon as possible, we might have found a few joint ventures but these will take time so the coffee shop is on hold for a few months.
But that isn't stopping us to take the bakery to the next level. his time we are going Khmer-style with a food tuk-tuk. We just build a box on our tuk-tuk and made it drivable. In the coming 2 days a friend is going to build some shelves in it... so next week we'll have a movable bakery.
Drove it to Kep yesterday to get the shelves done during our weekend. Made a little movie which I will post later. Absolutely loved the drive..... although I got funny looks the whole way. Khmer's are not used seeing a foreigner drive those things. Let stand a girl.... but hey adapt to your environment right?
Feeling more Khmer every day. After learning how to read and write their strange language, I am driving a tuk-tuk now too. Like mentioned I'll upload a little movie later but here's a pic of me in action.... sorry for the crapy quality.... taken with my husband's phone.
But hey I promised you a banana nice cream recipe. So enough chitchatting about our Cambodian bakery adventures. Let's get on with the nice cream.
CHUNKY MONKEY BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM ๐ ๐๐จ
INGREDIENTS
Frozen banana chunks, as much as you like
Raw cacao nibs or chopped vegan chocolate
Nut milk of your choice (I used coconut milk)
Toppings of your choice (I used a mix of dried goji berries, mulberries, and cranberries; sliced almonds, and coconut flakes)
DIRECTIONS
- Peel, chop and freeze the bananas.
- When frozen, add them to a blender and blend adding nut milk to desired texture of a soft serve ice cream. Use a tamper to push the bananas into the blades.
- Sir in the cacao nibs or vegan chocolate chips. Serves immediately or add to the freeze for an hour or so if you prefer a harder consistency.
- Top with your favorite toppings. I used dried goji berries, cranberries, mulberries, sliced almonds and coconut flakes.
WISHING YOU ALL A HAPPY AND HEALTHY WEEK

Hi there, just came across your recipe and had to try it out straight away. THANK YOU :) That was so amazingly yummy. It made my evening.
Glad you love this one. Vegan ice creams are so good right?
Yes, they are :) One of my favourites is banana with strawberry and almond milk and a few dates for more yumminess.
Sounds so good. How I miss strawberries here in the tropics. But ion the positive note we got plenty of bananas in the garden!

Yummy! I love bananas! Especially fresh ones! This dessert looks great!
Thanks. Banana overload here.
You are welcome! :) I can't wait to grow bananas here! haha :)
That is great! Congrats on the new set up and that recipe sounds delicious!
Thanks my dear.
Great recipe and pics
Resteemed!
Cheers and Bon Appetit
Thank you. Have a happy and healthy new week ;)
This ice-cream is so delicious! And so sweet, while not even sugared. I always eat it without anything else added (bananas only). But I must try this with some berries in top for sure!
Have a nice day and meal :)
Hmm berries. Miss them so much here in the tropics. I bet it would even taste better with some added berries. thanks for stopping by.
Aww, banana ice-cream is on my meal list every single day ๐ Resteemed this delicious treat!
So cool, that you became a tuktuk driver now - you definitely immerse into the culture over there ๐ No, seriously, the idea of the mobile bakery sounds awesome, I am already curious to see pictures of the final result ๐
Have a great start into the week!
Thanks my dear. Getting excited about this new adventure. After 4 years Cambodia I don't want to turn our business into a foreigner only business like so many cafes and shops here. That's when we got the idea of a tuk-tuk. A format they all love and know ;) Have a beautiful week.
That's a brilliant approach! I totally get that, especially after such a long time you probably totally feel like home in Cambodia and want to belong to the local community as well. But your idea is great, I bet it will be the success you desire ๐
Oh, to have the problem of a banana overload. lol What a fantastic place to be! I love the idea of banana nice-cream for breakfast on a hot day. Genius!
Oh, and I'm excited to see more about your mobile bakery, once you get your tuk-tuk all tricked out.
Shelving should be ready today. Exciting times. Thanks for stopping by. Wishing you a healthy and happy week.
Who wouldn't want ice cream for breakfast? That looks so good. Great photo of you driving the tuk tuk. Thank you for the update on your business adventure. I can't wait to watch the video.
Loving this new challenge. More pics and videos to come once it is finished.
Yum! I spent six months in Cambodia a few years ago and loved the fruit sooo much! Such amazing sweet bananas. x
Agree! Though I miss berries so much. Soursop is my new favorite.
