AIP Friendly Tropical Pineapple Banana Nice Cream
Creamy, cold, and bursting with tropical flavor, this frozen treat is the kind of dessert that genuinely feels indulgent without a single ingredient that would raise a red flag for autoimmune protocol followers. The base is simply frozen banana and pineapple blended with full-fat coconut milk until it reaches a lush, soft-serve consistency — no dairy, no refined sugar, no nightshades, and no eggs in sight. A little freshly grated ginger and Ceylon cinnamon add warmth and depth that make this taste far more complex than the short ingredient list suggests, while fresh lime juice keeps everything bright and balanced. The hardest part is waiting for the fruit to freeze solid, but once it does, the blender does all the work in about two minutes flat. Serve it straight from the blender for a soft, pillowy scoop, or pop it back in the freezer for an hour or two if you prefer something more structured. Optional toppings like unsweetened shredded coconut and fresh mint make it feel like a proper restaurant dessert. This one makes four servings, so it's just as good for a weeknight treat as it is for impressing guests who have no idea how clean the ingredient list actually is.
