How to Make Fruit Ice Cream

• Step 1 – Add Fruit to Blender – Place the frozen fruit and frozen bananas in a blender or a food processor.  

• Step 2 – Then add in the water. 
• Step 3 – Blend or process on high speed for a few minutes until the mixture is completely smooth.  

• Step 4 – Enjoy or Freeze – You can enjoy the ice cream as is or you can move the mixture to a freezer safe container (like a loaf pan). If you place in a loaf pan, freeze for 2-3 hours to allow the ice cream to firm up if you prefer.

Tips for The Best Ice Cream

• Bananas – Use ripe bananas to a naturally sweet ice cream. When I notice my bananas are getting to ripe, I place them in the freezer in a zip lock bag.
• Frozen Fruit – If you have fruit getting bad, place in the freezer to make smoothies or ice cream. Fully Frozen fruit makes the best ice cream.
• Blender – You will need to make this ice cream with a high-speed blender such as a Vitamix for the best texture.
