Tips & Notes
- Any plant-based milk works here — oat milk (certified GF) gives the richest mouthfeel; almond milk keeps it lighter.
- The riper (more spotted) the bananas, the sweeter and more intensely flavored your result will be.
- Coconut milk separates in the can — stir or shake well before using.
