To prepare Raspberry compote- Mix the raspberries and 1/4 cup sugar in a small bowl and mash the berries well.
Now transfer this mixture on a small stainless steel pan on medium heat along with 2 tbsp. water and maple syrup(honey).
Keep stirring and cook until the raspberry mixture starts to boil for about 20 mins and gets thicker in consistency. Optional- You can also add a tsp of cornstarch to get desired thickness !
Transfer the syrup to a glass or ceramic bowl and keep covered. Let it cool!
To prepare the Coconut ice cream– In a small bowl add the thick cream part of the coconut milk (remove the water or liquid from the can and use only the thick coconut cream), condensed milk, coconut extract and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

Chill the ice cream covered for at least 8 hours or overnight to get a firm texture.
If you canot resist the temptation to dig in for a scoop, you can try after 6 hours of chilling to get a ‘soft serve’ consistency!
When serving , use a ice cream scoop to serve generous scoops of ice cream into the serving bowl and top with fresh raspberry coulis or Hershey strawberry syrup or any desired topping.
Tip#If you are using frozen bananas, chilling time is between 4 to 6 hours.
