Summer has finally decided to rear it's lovely
little head here in Belfast, this can mean only one thing - ICE-CREAM!
None of the shops local to me sell vegan ice-cream
(yet-!!) so I decided to whip up some nice-cream using only fruit and a tiny
bit of coconut milk - this more than satisfied my sweet tooth and left me
feeling relatively guilt free.
Ingredients:
- 3 frozen
bananas - peel and chop before freezing
- Handful of
frozen mixed berries
- Punnet of
fresh blueberries
- Handful of
fresh strawberries
- Any dairy
free mylk - coconut, almond, rice and soy mylks are all good for this!
- Poppy seeds
for topping - this is all I had, however any nut/seed combo will work.
- Fruit for
topping
Method:
Using a high speed blender, blend together all of
the fruits with a dash of coconut milk. Bear in mind that it's better to add a
little milk at first then increase if needed, if too much is added the mixture
will take on a smoothie consistency as opposed to ice-cream. Once blended spoon
into a bowl and top with fresh fruit and your choice of nuts/seeds, et voila!
DIG IN.
There are endless possibilities where nice-cream is
concerned so I'll definitely experiment more in future! I think I'll try it
using frozen mango next, and possibly some frozen avocado to add some extra
creaminess :)
