Healthy Tropical Soft serve
This 5 minute, 4 ingredient soft serve made with tropical fruit is a super healthy summer treat the whole family will enjoy. It can also be made vegan.
Equipment
- Chef’s knife + chopping board
- Small baking tray + clingfilm
- Small measuring jug / beaker
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 320 g bag frozen pineapple, mango + papaya mix (may be called Exotic fruit mix)
- 180 ml milk semi skimmed or coconut milk
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or agave
Instructions
- At least 4 hours before making the soft serve, peel and thickly slice the bananas. Lay them on a small lined baking tray, leaving gaps in-between each piece and cover with clingfilm / saran wrap. Alternatively, use a medium / large food bag lined with baking paper.
- When ready to make, add the frozen banana slices and frozen tropical fruit mix into your blender, pour in the milk and add in the honey.
- Put the lid on and blend until you have a smooth, thick soft-serve consistency. If you have an ice crush function on your blender, use that. Serve immediately.
Notes
If the bananas are very ripe, one tablespoon of honey should be ok. Add one then taste. You can always add in another and blend again. If they aren’t very ripe you’ll need two.
Baby & Toddler
If you are sharing with a baby under 12 months, use agave nectar instead.
STORAGE
Left-overs can be frozen but it’s best for soft serve consistency to eat immediately. If you do freeze, leave out for 10-20 minutes to soften.
