cut up your bananas in small to medium pieces. they will blend better.
Freeze bananas 4h to overnight

Chill coconut milk.

3

In a high powered blender or food processor blend your bananas till crumbly. Then add coconut milk and vanilla. Bled until smooth.
Add in half of your pecan mix and blend again until smooth. This will create more of the butter pecan flavor.

Take the mix break it up into small chunks and return it to the blender/food processor for one more blend. This will make it smoother.
Place the mix back into the freeze container and fold in the remaining pecan mix (if you want more texture in your ice cream).
