There’s something deeply satisfying about having a stash of these in the freezer. They’re creamy from coconut milk, naturally sweet from banana, and full of blueberry flavour that holds up, even straight from the mould.
Lately, we’ve been going through them faster than I can freeze a new batch. IzaanAli has declared it his “favourite kind of ice cream,” and he’s not wrong. No added sugar, no dairy, no complaints. Just a handful of ingredients blitzed together and poured into moulds. He’s been helping me make them, too—grabbing the blender lid like he’s running the kitchen.
Between newborn life with Raha and the final stretch of cookbook edits, I haven’t had the time (or honestly, the energy) for elaborate desserts. But these? These take five minutes. They live in the freezer. They’re always ready. And they’ve quietly become a part of our summer rhythm.
You can keep them smooth, or mash in a few extra blueberries before freezing for a ripple effect. Either way, they come out like the best kind of treat: easy, satisfying, and often gone before I get one for myself.

There’s something deeply satisfying about having a stash of these in the freezer. They’re creamy from coconut milk, naturally sweet from banana, and full of blueberry flavour that holds up, even straight from the mould.
- 1 cup blueberries, frozen
- ¾ cup coconut milk, full-fat, canned
- 1 banana, small, ripe, sliced
- 1 tsp vanilla extract, pure
- 1 tsp flaxseed, ground
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
Pour into 3-oz paper cups and freeze for 1.5 hours.
Insert a wooden ice lolly stick into the center of each mould, then freeze for at least 6 hours, or until fully set. For best results, leave them overnight.
To serve, simply tear away the paper cup and enjoy immediately.
