Cuisine: Japanese
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, frozen
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- Granola, for topping
Instructions
- Remove frozen bananas from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly.
- Chop the frozen bananas into chunks to help them blend more easily.
- Place the frozen banana chunks, matcha powder, coconut milk, and maple syrup (if using) into a high-powered blender or food processor.
- Blend the ingredients on high speed, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides, until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy with a soft-serve ice cream consistency.
- If the mixture is too thick, add a little more coconut milk. If it's too thin, add more frozen banana.
- Once the nice cream reaches a creamy texture, transfer it to serving bowls.
- Peel and slice the fresh kiwi into thin rounds or small pieces.
- Top the matcha nice cream with kiwi slices and sprinkle granola over the top.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- Optional: Garnish with additional matcha powder or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
Tips
- Freeze your bananas in advance: Peel and chop ripe bananas before freezing to ensure the smoothest texture.
- Use a high-powered blender for the creamiest consistency - food processors work well too.
- Let frozen bananas sit for 2-3 minutes before blending to prevent your blender from overworking.
- Adjust liquid and frozen ingredients to achieve your desired nice cream texture.
- For an extra luxurious touch, use full-fat coconut milk for a richer flavor.
- Serve immediately after blending to enjoy the optimal soft-serve texture.
- Get creative with toppings - try chia seeds, coconut flakes, or dark chocolate chips for added crunch and nutrition.
