Directions
  1. Make the ice cream: Place the banana pieces onto a parchment-lined sheet tray and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  2. In a food processor, pulse the frozen banana pieces until roughly chopped. Add the coconut milk and pulse the mixture, stopping often to scrape down the sides of the food processor using a rubber spatula. Continue to pulse until the mixture looks creamy and smooth. Add the curry powder, cayenne, honey and salt, and pulse until combined. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Cover and chill in the freezer for at least 2 hours or, preferably, overnight.
  3. Meanwhile, make the caramel sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water and honey over high heat and cook until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue to cook over high heat until it turns an amber color, 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and slowly swirl in the butter. Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the heavy cream, vanilla and salt. Transfer the caramel sauce to a bowl and set aside. When using refrigerated caramel sauce, warm it in the microwave for 20 seconds to achieve the desired consistency again.
  4. Make the truffles: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat. In a food processor, pulse the Udi's Gluten Free Peanut Butter Coconut Cookies until they resemble the consistency of bread crumbs. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.
  5. Remove the ice cream from the freezer. Scoop a tablespoon-size bite of ice cream and place it into the mixing bowl with the Udi's cookie crumbs. Roll the ice cream bite in the Udi's cookie crumbs until it is fully coated; transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining ice cream and cookie crumbs. If the ice cream bites begin to soften, return them to the freezer and continue the process after 15 minutes. Chill the truffles in the freezer for at least 1 hour before serving.
  6. To serve, arrange the ice cream truffles on a platter and drizzle with the caramel.
