Homemade Ice Cream Using Store-Bought Frozen Fruit.
Making homemade ice cream doesn't need to be complicated, and you don’t need an ice cream machine to get a creamy, delicious result. By using store-bought frozen fruit, you can create a variety of fruit-flavored ice creams in no time, perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings.
Start with about 3 cups of frozen fruit like strawberries, mango, or berries. Let the fruit sit out for a few minutes until it's slightly softened but still frozen. Place the fruit in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
For creaminess, add about 1 cup of heavy cream or coconut cream. Sweeten to taste with honey, maple syrup, or sugar, and add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor. Once blended, pour the mixture into a container and freeze for 2-4 hours or until solid. Scoop and serve your homemade fruit ice cream.
Frozen bananas make an excellent base for creamy ice cream. Take 3-4 ripe bananas, peel them, and slice them into rounds. Freeze the banana slices, then blend them in a food processor until smooth. Add frozen berries, mango, or any fruit you like to infuse different flavors.
You can also add a splash of almond milk or coconut milk for an extra smooth texture. Blend until the fruit is incorporated and enjoy your creamy, vegan-friendly homemade ice cream.
For a tangier option, blend frozen fruit with Greek yogurt (about 1 cup). Add honey or agave syrup to sweeten the mixture, then freeze until it firms up into a rich and creamy frozen treat.
For a dairy-free, tropical twist, blend frozen fruit with coconut milk and a little sweetener. This will result in a velvety ice cream with a rich, coconutty flavor.
