Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 2 cups (300g) frozen strawberries
- 1 medium ripe banana, peeled and frozen
Liquid
- 1/2 cup (120ml) coconut milk (or other plant-based milk)
Optional Sweetener
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or sweetener of choice
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Use frozen strawberries and banana. If the banana isn’t frozen, slice and freeze it for at least 1–2 hours to ensure the best creamy texture for blending.
- Blend Until Smooth: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the frozen strawberries, frozen banana, and coconut milk. Blend until the mixture is creamy and smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the blended mixture and add 1–2 teaspoons of maple syrup or your preferred sweetener if desired. Blend again briefly to fully incorporate the sweetener.
- Serve or Freeze: Serve immediately for a soft-serve style texture. For a firmer consistency, freeze the mixture for 20–30 minutes before serving. Use an ice cream scoop or piping bag to create a classic swirl presentation.
