Equipment

  • blender

Ingredients
  

  • 5 large ripe banana thickly sliced
  • 250 g strawberry
  • 250 g Greek yoghurt
  • 200 g condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Freeze the bananas and the strawberries

  • Place the sliced bananas and strawberries in a single layer on a baking tray or plate. Freeze for at least 2–3 hours, or overnight if possible.

Blend the base

  • In a powerful blender or food processor, add the frozen banana slices, frozen strawberries, Greek yoghurt, condensed milk, and vanilla extract.

Blend until smooth and creamy

  • Blend everything until you get a thick, creamy texture. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times.

Taste and adjust (optional)

  • If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more condensed milk or a drizzle of honey.

Freeze for a firmer texture

  • Transfer the mixture to a container, smooth the top, and freeze for 1–2 hours for a scoopable texture.

Serve

  • Scoop and enjoy! Garnish with fresh berries, granola, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts if desired.

Notes

Add a Flavor Boost

A squeeze of lemon juice, or a pinch of sea salt can enhance the fruity flavor and balance the sweetness.

Customize with Toppings or Mix-Ins

Get creative! Stir in:
Chopped nuts for crunch. Shredded coconut. Mini dark chocolate chips. Granola or crushed graham crackers, A swirl of peanut butter.                                            Balance the Tartness
Strawberries can sometimes be a bit tart, especially if they’re not super ripe. To balance the flavor, consider adding a small spoonful of honey, maple syrup, or extra condensed milk—but taste before adding too much!

Let It Soften Before Serving

If you’ve frozen it solid, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping for the best texture.

Store It Right

Use an airtight, shallow container to freeze and store your ice cream. Press a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap on top to prevent ice crystals from forming.
