strawberry nice cream
fruity, creamy, slightly tart and so refreshing, easy, just 6 ingredients, no ice-cream maker needed!
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas sliced and frozen
- 2 C strawberries hulled, cut and frozen
- 1/3 C coconut milk or coconut cream
- 2 Tbsp. maple syrup or any other sweetener you prefer
- 1 Tbsp lime juice
- 1 pinch salt
decoration
- 4 strawberries sliced or freeze-dried strawberry slices
- fresh mint leaves
Instructions
-
Peel and cut ripe bananas, rinse, hull and cut the strawberries in quarters, place on a parchment lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for about 2-3 hours until frozen.
-
In a food processor add the frozen bananas and strawberries and pulse until they resemble coarse snow.
-
Add coconut milk/cream, maple syrup, salt, and lime juice, and blend until it is creamy like soft serve. Scrape off the sides in-between until all blends well. If you like it a bit sweeter just add 1 tsp. maple syrup or more to taste.

1. You can serve it immediately as a soft serve (and I can't blame you for doing just that ;-)).
2. Or fill it in a freezer safe glass container, decorate the top with the strawberry slices (fresh or freeze-dried) and a few fresh mint leaves. Now freeze it for 1-2 hours before serving. Let it thaw for a few minutes before scooping out.
3. Or fill the soft serve in ice pop molds and freeze for about 2 hours before serving

Guten Appetit!

Variations:
1: you can add 1/4 Tsp. Vanilla bean powder when adding the cream, salt and milk and mix in together
2. add 1/3 C of small pieces of fresh strawberries, swirl into the soft serve or before freezing
3. chocolate and strawberries go really well together. So you can add 1/4C of dark chocolate cut in small pieces and swirl into the soft serve or before freezing.
