Chef's Tips

  • You can also add the fruit or toppings to the blender at step 2 (or 2 tablespoons cocoa) to create different nice cream flavours such as strawberry, peanut or chocolate.
  • This tastes just as good as regular ice cream but is super healthy; I love it!
  • Best eaten immediately as sadly it does not freeze well once blended.
  • This is delicious served on wholemeal pancakes for breakfast!
