Cook Time: -
Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed fruits (strawberries, bananas, blueberries)
- 1 cup yogurt (vanilla or plain)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Wash all fresh fruits thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Hull the strawberries and remove any stems or leaves. Peel the bananas and remove any bruised areas.
- Chop the fruits into uniform bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even blending.
- Place the mixed fruits into a blender or food processor, ensuring they are at a cool room temperature or slightly chilled.
- Add the vanilla or plain yogurt to the blender, providing a creamy base for the mixture.
- Drizzle honey into the blender, which will add natural sweetness and help balance the fruit's tartness.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice into the mixture to enhance flavors and prevent fruit browning.
- Blend all ingredients on high speed for 30-45 seconds until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if desired.
- Pour the blended mixture into freezer-safe serving glasses or small containers.
- Place the containers in the freezer for approximately 2-3 hours until the mixture is partially frozen but still creamy.
- Remove from freezer 5-10 minutes before serving to allow slight softening for easier scooping.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh fruit slices or mint leaves before serving.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Fruits: For the best flavor, select ripe and seasonal fruits. Strawberries, bananas, and blueberries work wonderfully together, but feel free to mix in your favorites!
- Chill Your Ingredients: If you want an extra refreshing treat, chill your fruits and yogurt beforehand. This will help achieve a creamier texture when blending.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mixture before freezing. Depending on your fruit's ripeness, you may want to add more honey or even a splash of maple syrup for added sweetness.
- Blend Thoroughly: Ensure all ingredients are blended until smooth to avoid any chunky bits. A high-speed blender will give you the best results.
- Freezing Tip: For easier scooping, allow the fruit freeze to sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before serving. This will soften it just enough to scoop easily.
- Garnish Creatively: Elevate your dessert by garnishing with fresh fruit slices, a dollop of yogurt, or a sprig of mint for a pop of color and flavor.
- Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in airtight containers in the freezer. They can last for up to a month, but we doubt they’ll last that long!
