Strawberry Ice Cream Made in the Food Processor
Ingredients
- 3 medium bananas , about 300 grams
- 5-6 medium strawberries , or up to 100 grams
- 3 Tbsp granulated or liquid sweetener of choice*
Instructions
- Peel and slice the bananas to 1 inch slices
- Spread the banana slices and strawberries inside a 1 gallon ziploc bag and freeze overnight (or until frozen solid)
- In a food processor or high-powered blender, blend frozen banana slices and the rest of the ingredients together until smooth
- Serve immediately as a soft serve, or pour into a lidded container, preferably glass (like pyrex). Cover and freeze.
- For best icecream consistency, take container out of the freezer and let sit out at room temperature for 10 mins. If it's in a microwaveable container, you can also microwave it for 15 seconds until softened.
Notes
*You can use any granulated or liquid sweetener of your choice, but honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, date sugar and maple sugars are the less processed, naturally derived options. For a lower calorie option, I've used sugar-free sweeteners with good results, such as monk fruit sweetener and stevia (just be sure to convert according to package instructions).
**While a food processor will give you the best results, you can also use a high-powered blender (such as Vitamix) that comes with a tamper. Use the tamper to push the ingredients into the blades of the blender to ensure the best consistency.
