Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen blueberries
- 1 banana, frozen
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: 2 cups of frozen blueberries, 1 frozen banana, 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger, 1/4 cup of almond milk, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup.
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the frozen blueberries, frozen banana, and grated ginger. Make sure the fruits are well-frozen to achieve a creamy texture.
- Add the almond milk to the blender. This will help in blending the frozen ingredients smoothly. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can add a little more almond milk as needed.
- Pour in the maple syrup. This will add a touch of sweetness to balance the tartness of the blueberries and the spiciness of the ginger.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender or processor to ensure everything is well combined.
- Once blended to your desired consistency, taste the mixture. If you prefer it sweeter, feel free to add a bit more maple syrup and blend again.
- Transfer the blueberry ginger ice cream into an airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even surface.
- If you want a firmer texture, place the container in the freezer for about 30 minutes before serving. Otherwise, you can serve it immediately for a soft-serve consistency.
- To serve, scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones. You can garnish with additional blueberries, a sprinkle of grated ginger, or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
- Enjoy your refreshing and healthy raw vegan blueberry ginger ice cream!
Tips
- Freeze Factor: Ensure your blueberries and banana are thoroughly frozen for the best creamy texture. Pro tip: Cut and freeze ripe bananas in advance for instant smoothness.
- Blending Secrets: Use a high-speed blender or food processor for the silkiest consistency. If your blender struggles, pause and scrape down the sides frequently.
- Ginger Game: Freshly grated ginger provides the most vibrant flavor. Adjust the amount to your spice preference - a little goes a long way!
- Customization Options: Feel free to experiment with alternative milk like coconut or oat milk for different flavor profiles.
- Storage Hack: For a firmer ice cream, freeze for 30 minutes before serving. For soft-serve style, enjoy immediately after blending.
- Garnish Glory: Elevate your presentation with fresh blueberries, a sprinkle of ginger, or a maple syrup drizzle for extra pizzazz.
