Bake coconut in a shallow pan at 350°, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes or until toasted.

Remove from heat; whisk in toasted coconut, coconut milk, cream of coconut, and vanilla. Fold in banana. Cover and chill 3 hours.

Pour mixture into freezer container of a 1-gallon hand-turned or electric ice-cream freezer. Freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.

Pack freezer with additional ice and rock salt, and let stand 1 hour before serving. Garnish, if desired.
