Goji Ice Cream

Post by Julie @realfoodsource and Jo @includingCake

Our organic goji berries are back in stock this week so it's time to make a weekend treat!  

This fantastic ice cream is natural pink from the raspberry, goji and yes, even beetroot!

The banana base is a classic healthy ice-cream trick. No need for an ice-cream maker. With these powerful flavours, the banana is not too dominant either.  Give it a go this weekend, curl up on the couch and enjoy!

Recipe: Goji Banana Ice Cream 

Serves 3-4 (or two if you are ice cream obsessed!)

Ingredients:

  • 3 bananas- chunked and pre-frozen
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries
  • 1 cooked beetroot (I bought it pre-packed)
  • 1/4 cup goji berries (pre-ground if you want very small pieces)
  • 1 tsp baobab powder
  • A few drops stevia (optional for a touch extra sweetness)

Method:

Blend all ingredients together until smooth- but don’t over blend as the ice-cream consistency will begin to soften. I added most of the raspberries into the blend, then added the last few for decoration.

You can serve this immediately as a soft serve or spread into a tub and freeze for a few hours to serve with a scoop. Because this ice-cream used a banana base, there is no need for an ice cream maker and the ice cream won’t form icy crystals as some ice creams can tend to. It's a winner!  Give it a try and curl up on the couch this weekend and enjoy!
