It's incredible how you can make such a fantastically tasty and healthy dessert with just three ingredients. Just don't tell this secret to your kids.

How to cook Yoghurt ice cream with strawberry and banana

Step 1

Peel bananas, cut into slices, put in a bag and freeze.

Step 2

Wash strawberries (preferably small ones), remove the stalk, freeze.

Step 3

Place all ingredients in a blender with screw and blend thoroughly. It is better to do this in batches so that there are no unground pieces left.

Step 4

Put the mixture in a tray, close the lid and freeze for at least 3 hours. The secret is in the original frozen ingredients. If you do everything from fresh raw materials, then after freezing a solid monolith is formed, and in the case of initially frozen fruits, this does not happen - the mass is almost homogeneous with small crystals.

Step 5

The dessert turns out to be fantastically tasty, indistinguishable from ice cream for my daughter. I recommend!

Yoghurt ice cream with strawberry and banana - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use other fruits besides strawberry and banana?

Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with other frozen fruits like blueberries, raspberries, mango, or peaches. Just be mindful of the overall sweetness; you might need to adjust the amount of yogurt depending on the fruit you choose.

What kind of yogurt works best for this recipe?

Greek yogurt will give you the creamiest and thickest result, but regular yogurt also works well. You can even use flavored yogurt to add another layer of flavor! Consider using a yogurt with live and active cultures for an extra probiotic boost.

How long will this yogurt ice cream last in the freezer?

For the best texture, it's best to consume within 1-2 weeks. After that, the ice cream may develop ice crystals and become less creamy. Make sure to store it in an airtight container.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free or vegan?

Yes! Simply substitute regular yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative, such as coconut yogurt, almond yogurt, or soy yogurt. Ensure your chosen yogurt is thick and creamy for the best results.

What if I don't have a high-powered blender?

If you don't have a high-powered blender, let the frozen fruit thaw for a few minutes before blending. This will make it easier to process. You may also need to scrape down the sides of the blender more frequently. If necessary, add a small amount of liquid (like milk or juice) to help the blending process, but do so sparingly to avoid a runny result.

How can I prevent the ice cream from becoming too hard in the freezer?

The key is using initially frozen fruit, as the recipe suggests. Also, avoid over-freezing. After the initial 3 hours, check the consistency. If it's firm enough, you can enjoy it then. If freezing for longer, let it thaw for a few minutes before serving.

Any serving suggestions for this yogurt ice cream?

This ice cream is delicious on its own, but you can also top it with granola, chopped nuts, chocolate shavings, a drizzle of honey, or fresh fruit for an extra treat. Consider serving it in a waffle cone for a classic ice cream experience!

Can I add any sweeteners to this recipe?

Yes, if you prefer a sweeter ice cream, you can add a touch of honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, or stevia to the blender. Start with a small amount and adjust to your liking.

Is there a way to make this recipe low-carb?

To make this low-carb, use a low-carb yogurt option and consider replacing the banana with a low-carb fruit like raspberries or blackberries. Artificial sweeteners like erythritol or monk fruit can be used in moderation to add sweetness.

Usually kharcho is cooked in beef broth. But we decided to break the rules to get a slightly different, but no less tasty dish. Kharcho based on chicken will be more dietary, but in taste it will be the same famous Georgian soup, which you can easily
