Blueberry Banana Nice Cream: A Refreshing Treat!
Summer is the perfect time for refreshing and healthy treats, and what could be better than a delicious ice cream that’s both satisfying and guilt-free? Our Blueberry Banana Nice Cream recipe is a fantastic way to indulge without the added calories typically found in traditional ice cream. Packed with the goodness of fruits and sweetened just right, this recipe is a delightful way to cool down on a hot day.
Ingredients:
- Bananas: 3 medium (about 300 grams) – Bananas make the base of our nice cream, providing a creamy texture and natural sweetness.
- Frozen Blueberries: ½ cup (up to 100 grams) – Blueberries add a lovely color and a burst of flavor, along with antioxidants.
- Sweetener: 3 Tbsp (granulated or liquid of choice) – Adjust this according to your taste. You can use honey, maple syrup, or any other vegan sweetener if you prefer.
Directions:
- Preparation: Start by peeling the bananas. Slice them into 1-inch pieces for easier blending.
- Freezing: Place the banana slices and blueberries in a 1-gallon Ziploc bag. Spread them out and freeze overnight, or until they are frozen solid. This step is crucial for achieving the right consistency.
- Blending: Once frozen, place the fruits into a food processor or a high-powered blender. Add your chosen sweetener and blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. This might take a few minutes; pause to scrape down the sides if necessary.
- Serving: Serve the nice cream immediately for a soft-serve texture. If you prefer it a bit firmer, you can transfer it to an airtight container and freeze until it’s just right.
