Very berry ice cream

Very Berry Ice Cream is a delightful and healthy treat that combines the natural sweetness of various berries with the creamy texture of bananas. This dessert is perfect for those looking to satisfy their sweet tooth with a nutritious option that’s also vegan-friendly. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create this refreshing ice cream in the comfort of your own kitchen.

Ingredients:

2 bananas
240g
1.50 cups frozen strawberries
220g
1 cup blueberries
150g
1 cup raspberries
250g
2 oz apple juice
54g
1/2 cup soy milk
120g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Ensure that the bananas are peeled, chopped, and frozen in advance.
- If using fresh blueberries and raspberries, wash and pat them dry before use.
2. Assemble the Ingredients:
- Gather all the frozen and fresh fruits, apple juice, and soy milk.

3. Blend:
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the frozen bananas, frozen strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
- Pour in the apple juice and soy milk.
4. Blend Thoroughly:
- Start the blender on a low setting to break up the fruits, then increase to high until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. This may take about 2-3 minutes.
- Stop periodically to scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well blended.
5. Check Consistency:
- If the mixture is too thick, you can add a bit more soy milk or apple juice, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- If it's too thin, you can add a few more frozen strawberries or a half-frozen banana.
6. Serve Immediately or Store:
- For a soft-serve texture, serve the ice cream immediately.
- If you prefer a firmer ice cream, transfer the mixture to an airtight container and freeze for about 1-2 hours. Stir every 30 minutes to help it freeze evenly.
7. Serving Suggestions:
- Scoop into bowls or cones, and enjoy!
- You can top with fresh berries, a drizzle of berry sauce, or some granola for added texture and flavor.
8. Storing Leftovers:
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. Allow it to thaw for about 10-15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.

Tips:

- For a smoother consistency, make sure to blend the bananas first until creamy before adding the other fruits.

- If you prefer a firmer ice cream, place the mixture in a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours after blending.

- Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding a bit of honey or maple syrup if desired.

- To make the ice cream even more nutritious, you can add a handful of spinach or kale without significantly altering the taste.

- Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture or freeze longer for a traditional ice cream consistency.

And there you have it – a delicious and nutritious Very Berry Ice Cream that's perfect for any occasion. Enjoy this vibrant and fruity treat as a dessert or a snack. It’s a wonderful way to cool down on a hot day, and it’s so good you won’t believe it’s actually healthy!
