Ingredients:
- 400g frozen strawberries
- 1-2 frozen bananas
- 2 tablespoons condensed milk
- 150ml heavy cream (33% fat)
Instructions:
- Prepare Your Blender:
- Ensure your blender is powerful enough to handle frozen ingredients (ideally 1000W or more), as a less powerful model might struggle and potentially get damaged.
- Blend the Ingredients:
- Combine the frozen strawberries, bananas, condensed milk, and heavy cream in the blender.
- Blend until the mixture reaches a smooth, creamy consistency, similar to soft-serve ice cream. You might need to pause and stir occasionally to help the blender work more efficiently.
- Serve Immediately:
- Serve the “ice cream” immediately for the best texture, or transfer it to a container and freeze for a few hours for a firmer consistency.
- Optional Garnishes:
- Top with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or chocolate shavings for an extra touch of decadence.
