All Fruit Ice Cream
Makes 4 cups of real fruit ice cream
Preparation time: 5 minutes (plus some thawing time)
Cooking time: 0 minutes
- 4 large frozen bananas (I peel them and put them in a zip lock and freeze them whenever I have an excess)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean extract (optional)
- 3 kiwi fruit plus 1 extra sliced for decoration
- 1/4 cup raspberries
Step 1 - Fit a piping bag with a large star nozzle (the largest one you can get, not the small metal ones for making flowers). Take out the bananas from the freezer. You don't want them rock hard but you still want them frozen. I leave them on the counter for about 10-15 minutes in the bag. Once you can pry them apart they are ready.
Step 2 - While they are thawing, blend up the kiwifruit in a processor. Then use a fork to mash the raspberries. Set aside.
Step 3 - Place the bananas in your blender - I break them up into 3-4 pieces. Using a tamp tool to press down but keep the speed relatively low. In the Oster, the higher the speed, the more heat is applied and we still want to keep the banana frozen. Just move and mash around the banana and in about a minute it will be smooth and pale in colour, like vanilla ice cream! Thermomix directions: 30 seconds, speed #8.
Step 4 - Scoop into the piping bag and pipe into the cups. Serve with two sauces on the side and a slice of kiwifruit.
