Ingredients
- 1x Banana
- 1x Kiwi
- 1 cup of fresh mint leaves
- a few raisins
no, there is no chocolate, even though the recipe name mentions chocolate. I recommend trying out raisins first, in my experience, this is the best version. See the Enhancements section for real chocolate options.
Ingredient alternatives
Fresh mint:
- Dried mint - easier to store and have available for recipes. The result's close to the original recipe, and it's easier to do.
Equipments
- Food processor
Equipment alternatives
Blender - I've used my personal blender (those designed to make smoothies) and it does the job, but requires more stages to mix the content properly between pulses (around 5). And the ice cream is more difficult to take off from the blender
Instructions
- Freeze the fruits overnight
- Wash and chop the mint leaves
- Throw and blend everything in the food processor until it achieves an ice cream consistency
I personally prefer to use the skin of the fruits. It's more nutritional and easy, plus the additional fiber makes the texture even harder, but not so green. So before freezing, you might want to peel the fruits, and also take the white middle part of the kiwi out.
Nutrition Facts
These are the ingredients that I use for my recipe with the price from the supermarket:
- 1x Dwarf Banana (150g) - R$1.00
- 1x Kiwi (80g) - R$2.70
- Organic peppermint (10g) - R$0.90
- Raisins (15g) - R$0.37
The price of 1 serving size of the recipe is: R$4.97
This is about 250ml of ice cream.
Enhancements
- Dried dates - instead of using raisins, take little pieces of dates to make balls at the size of a pea. Raisins are ready to use, plus it's easier to find and it's cheaper. The ice cream will blunt the flavor of the grapes, in my experience, you won't even notice the flavor of grapes
- Cocoa nibs - the closest to chocolate that I recommend. Though the mint flavor is strong, I suggest experimenting with the amount of each one
- Fresh mint leaf at the top - just for better presentation
