Green Smoothie Coconut Kale Ice Cream

Instructions

1. Having a high-speed blender isn’t strictly necessary, but it certainly makes things much easier for this recipe. Blending greens down to a smooth consistency can be tricky even with a sturdy standard model, so be prepared to blend for up to ten minutes and strain very carefully after processing if you go a lower-tech route.
2. Toss all of the greens, bananas, and 1 cup of the coconut milk into the container of your machine, in that order. It may seem like a ton of vegetation, but I promise it will blend down to a more manageable volume. 
3. Puree on high speed, pausing to scrape down the sides of the container as needed, until completely smooth. Then blend for another minute or so, because those fibrous greens always look much smoother than they feel on the tongue. Pass the mixture through a fine mesh sieve and set aside.
4. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining coconut milk, nondairy milk, and cornstarch, whisking vigorously to combine and break up all possible clumps of starch. Add in the pineapple pieces and agave and bring to a boil. 
5. Cook for two more minutes; then turn off the heat. 
6. Transfer the mixture to your cleaned blender and puree. Let cool completely before whisking both liquids together, mixing until homogeneous. Chill thoroughly in your refrigerator before churning.
7. Once ice-cold, churn the base in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Transfer to an air-tight container when finished, and in the freezer for at least three hours before serving.
