Benefits of Homemade Ice Cream:
Making your own ice cream allows you to take control of what goes into your dessert. By using fresh blueberries, non-fat Greek yogurt, and unsweetened almond milk, you’re avoiding the excessive sugars and additives often found in store-bought alternatives. This recipe provides a balance of sweetness from natural sources like fruit and a touch of vanilla extract, ensuring a deliciously creamy texture without the guilt.
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh blueberries
1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
1/4 cup granulated sweetener of choice (e.g., erythritol, stevia)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
Prepare Blueberries: Start by rinsing and drying the fresh blueberries thoroughly. Freezing them ensures they blend smoothly into the ice cream mixture and provide a vibrant color and natural sweetness.
Blend and Chill: Combine the frozen blueberries with non-fat Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, adjusting sweetness to taste.
Freeze Until Firm: Transfer the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container and cover it tightly. Allow the Blueberry Ice Cream to freeze for at least 4-6 hours or overnight. This time allows the flavors to meld and the ice cream to reach a scoopable consistency.
Serve and Garnish: When ready to serve, remove the Blueberry Ice Cream from the freezer and let it sit for a few minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls or cones, garnishing with fresh blueberries or mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness
