Ingredients
- 300 g frozen banana slices (about 3 medium bananas)
- 200 g frozen pineapple chunks
- 120 g plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 10 ml fresh lime juice
- 5 ml vanilla extract
- 15 g honey
1. Freeze the fruit in advance
Start by slicing the bananas into small rounds and cutting the pineapple into bite-sized chunks if it isn’t already prepared.
Spread the fruit out on a tray or plate lined with parchment paper and place it in the freezer until completely frozen, preferably overnight.
This step is what gives the nice cream its thick, creamy ice cream texture without needing heavy cream or added fats.
The colder the fruit, the creamier the final result will be.
2. Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor
Place the frozen banana slices, frozen pineapple chunks, non-fat Greek yogurt, fresh lime juice, vanilla extract, and honey into a high-speed blender or food processor.
Don’t worry if the blender seems very full at first—once the fruit starts breaking down, the mixture will blend much more easily.
The pineapple adds a bright tropical flavor, while the banana creates the naturally sweet and creamy base.
3. Blend patiently until creamy
Begin blending on a low speed before gradually increasing the power. At first, the mixture may look dry, chunky, or crumbly.
This is completely normal. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula and help move the frozen fruit toward the blades.
After a few minutes, you’ll notice the mixture transform into a smooth, thick, soft-serve consistency.
This is the moment when it starts looking like real ice cream.
4. Adjust the texture if needed
If your blender struggles to process the frozen fruit, add a small amount of cold water—about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) at a time.
Only add enough liquid to help the blades move freely. Adding too much water can make the nice cream less thick and creamy.
The goal is a rich, spoonable texture that holds its shape when scooped.
5. Taste and enjoy immediately
Once the mixture is silky smooth, give it a quick taste.
The natural sweetness from the banana and pineapple should create a delicious tropical flavor with no added sugar needed.
Serve immediately if you love a soft-serve style dessert.
It’s cold, refreshing, naturally sweet, and perfect when you’re craving ice cream but want a healthier option.
6. Freeze for a firmer ice cream texture
If you prefer a traditional scoopable ice cream consistency, transfer the nice cream into a freezer-safe container and smooth the top with a spoon.
Freeze for 1–2 hours until slightly firmer. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
The result is a creamy pineapple banana ice cream that tastes indulgent while staying light, nutritious, and weight-loss friendly. 🍍🍌🍦
