Coconut Banana Paleo Ice Cream

I've been toying around with this recipe for a week. Around the web I saw recipes for paleo ice cream with coconut milk berries or whatever and little vanilla. Tried a couple different things out earlier in the week and I think I've got it.

-1 can coconut cream (coconut MILK wasn't rich enough)
-1 + a little of another banana
- ~1tsp vanilla

Turned out really good. Just have to make sure it doesn't spend too much time in the freezer, it will turn into a rock. I think 1-1.5 hours is probably enough time. The great thing about this, aside from it falling within the Paleo Diet parameters, is that while the calorie count is pretty high (probably around 1000 cals for an entire batch) the calories come mostly from coconut fat instead of sugar and other weird stuff. I split this into a few smaller servings with about 300 calories and 15-20 carbs each. I'm going to continue to experiment with the now that I've got the basic gist down. Probably add some cocoa powder, strawberries, pineapple, steak...the possibilities are endless.
