Very berry "ice cream"

Indulge in a delightful and refreshing treat with this Very Berry 'Ice Cream'. Perfect for hot summer days or as a guilt-free dessert, this vegan-friendly recipe combines the vibrant flavors of bananas, strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. Not only is it delicious, but it also packs a nutritious punch with a blend of fruits and a splash of soy milk and apple juice. Let's dive into the recipe!

Ingredients:

2 bananas
240g
1 cup frozen strawberries
220g
1 cup raspberries
250g
1 cup frozen blueberries
160g
1/2 cup soy milk
120g
2 tbsp apple juice
30g

Instructions:

1. Prep the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into smaller chunks. Place the banana slices in a sealed container or a ziplock bag and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until solid.
2. Blend the Ingredients:
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, add the frozen banana slices, frozen strawberries, raspberries, and frozen blueberries.
- Pour in the soy milk and apple juice.

3. Blend Until Smooth:
- Begin blending the mixture on a low setting, gradually increasing the speed as the ingredients start to combine.
- Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor as necessary to ensure even mixing.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. This may take a few minutes depending on the power of your blender or food processor.
4. Check Consistency:
- If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little more soy milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- If the mixture is too thin, you can add a few more frozen fruit pieces to thicken it up.
5. Serve Immediately:
- Once the mixture is smooth and creamy, transfer the very berry "ice cream" into serving bowls.
- Enjoy immediately for a soft-serve consistency.
6. Optional: Freeze for Later:
- If you prefer a firmer texture, you can transfer the mixture into an airtight container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours.
- Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.

Tips:

- Ensure that your bananas are ripe for natural sweetness and a creamy texture.

- Pre-freeze your bananas for an extra frosty and smooth consistency.

- Blend the ingredients in short bursts to avoid overheating your blender.

- If you prefer a softer ice cream, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

- Feel free to experiment with other frozen fruits or add-ins like chia seeds or a dash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.

Voila! You've just made a delectable batch of Very Berry 'Ice Cream'. This recipe is not only simple and quick to prepare but also brimming with fruity goodness.
