Description
Creamy strawberry banana soft serve offers a guilt-free dessert packed with natural sweetness and nutrition. Blenders combine frozen fruits into a smooth, refreshing treat that delights your palate without added sugars or dairy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 bananas (medium, about 300 grams/10.5 oz)
- 5–6 strawberries (medium, up to 100 grams/3.5 oz)
- 3 tablespoons (tbsps) sweetener (granulated or liquid)
Instructions
- Fruit Preparation: Slice ripe bananas into uniform chunks and select fresh, ripe strawberries for optimal flavor and texture.
- Freezing Process: Spread banana pieces and strawberries evenly on a freezer-safe tray or inside a sealed bag, ensuring they do not touch, and freeze completely overnight.
- Blending Technique: Transfer frozen fruit directly into a powerful food processor or high-performance blender, pulsing and scraping sides to create a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Texture Refinement: Continue processing until the mixture transforms into a silky soft-serve texture with no visible fruit chunks, resembling a luxurious frozen dessert.
- Serving Options: Immediately scoop the creamy mixture into chilled serving bowls for instant enjoyment, or transfer to a sealed glass container for later consumption.
- Storage and Restoration: When storing, keep the soft serve in the freezer and allow to soften at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving, or briefly microwave for 15 seconds to restore its velvety consistency.
Notes
- Choose Perfectly Ripe Fruits: Select bananas with brown speckles and strawberries at peak ripeness for maximum natural sweetness and smooth texture.
- Freeze Strategically: Spread fruit pieces individually on the freezer bag to prevent sticking and ensure uniform freezing for easier blending.
- Blend with Patience: Pause and scrape processor sides frequently during blending to guarantee a consistently creamy, chunk-free soft serve.
- Storage Tip: Let frozen soft serve sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to restore ideal soft, scoopable consistency.
