Two-Minute Berry Nice Cream

Why it works

Frozen fruit blended to a soft-serve texture is dessert with fibre and no added sugar. The trick is to use very little liquid so it stays thick like ice cream rather than turning into a smoothie.

Ingredients

• 1 banana, sliced and frozen
• 1 cup frozen mixed berries
• 2-3 tbsp plain Greek yogurt or milk of choice
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Method

1. Take the frozen fruit out and let it sit for 3-4 minutes - slightly softened fruit blends far more easily and saves your blender.
2. Put the banana, berries, 2 tablespoons of yogurt and the vanilla into a food processor or high-speed blender.
3. Blitz in short pulses, stopping often to scrape down and push the fruit onto the blades. It will look crumbly, then suddenly come together.
4. Only add the last spoon of yogurt if it absolutely will not turn over - you want a stiff soft-serve, not a pour.
5. Eat straight away for soft-serve, or scrape into a tub and freeze for 30 minutes for a firmer scoop.

Swaps

Add 1 tbsp cocoa for a chocolate version, or a spoon of nut butter for richness.
