A refreshing frozen blend of strawberries and pineapple with creamy coconut milk. Perfect for hot summer days.
# What You Need:
→ Fruit & Juice
01 - 3 cups frozen strawberries
02 - 1/2 cup pineapple juice, chilled
03 - 1 medium ripe banana, sliced and frozen
→ Creamy Base
04 - 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (carton, not canned)
→ Sweetener
05 - 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup, to taste
→ Optional
06 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
# How-To Steps:
01 - Add frozen strawberries, frozen banana, pineapple juice, coconut milk, maple syrup, and lemon juice (if using) to a high-powered blender or food processor.
02 - Blend on high speed, stopping occasionally to scrape down sides, until mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
03 - Taste mixture and add additional syrup if desired to achieve preferred sweetness level.
04 - Serve immediately for soft-serve texture, or transfer to freezer-safe container and freeze 30-60 minutes for firmer consistency. Scoop into bowls or cones.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It comes together in under ten minutes with ingredients you probably already have in your freezer
- The texture is shockingly close to the soft serve you wait in line for at theme parks but completely dairy free
- You can customize the sweetness and fruit ratio to match exactly what your family loves
02 -
- Do not use canned coconut milk because it is too rich and will make the texture heavy instead of light and fluffy
- Your blender needs to be powerful enough to break down frozen fruit completely or you will end up with icy chunks instead of creaminess
- Work quickly once it is blended because this melts faster than store bought ice cream due to the lack of stabilizers
03 -
- Freeze your serving bowls for ten minutes before scooping to keep the dessert colder longer
- If you have leftovers press a piece of parchment paper directly onto the surface before freezing to prevent ice crystals
