Ingredients and Their Roles
Each ingredient contributes to the creamy texture, natural sweetness, and refreshing flavor of this dessert:
- 2 cups frozen strawberries (unsweetened) – Provides fruity flavor, vibrant color, and natural sweetness while keeping the ice cream creamy and refreshing.
- 1 ripe banana, sliced and frozen – Acts as a natural sweetener and thickener, giving the dessert a smooth, ice cream-like texture without added sugar.
- ½ cup fat-free Greek yogurt – Adds creaminess, protein, and a slight tang that balances the fruit sweetness. Can be swapped for plant-based yogurt for a vegan version.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional) – Enhances the overall flavor, adding depth and warmth.
- Sweetener of choice (optional) – Stevia, monk fruit, or a small drizzle of maple syrup can be added if desired, but note that sweeteners may add WW points.
Step-by-Step Instructions for Zero-Point Strawberry Ice Cream
- Prep Your Fruit: Slice the ripe banana into small rounds and freeze it along with the strawberries. For best results, freeze overnight. This ensures a smooth, creamy texture that mimics traditional ice cream.
- Blend the Ingredients: In a high-powered blender or food processor, combine the frozen strawberries, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract if using. Blend on high until the mixture becomes creamy and uniform.
- Scrape and Adjust: Pause to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. If the mixture is too thick to blend, add a splash of water or unsweetened almond milk to help it along.
- Taste and Sweeten: Give your ice cream a taste. If it needs extra sweetness, add a bit of your preferred sweetener, such as Stevia, monk fruit, or maple syrup. Remember that adding sweeteners may impact WW points.
- Serve or Freeze:
- For a soft-serve style dessert, enjoy immediately straight from the blender.
- For scoopable ice cream, transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1–2 hours, until firm.
Pro Tips for Perfect Texture and Flavor
- Freeze overnight: Freezing both the banana and strawberries ensures a creamy, scoopable texture.
- Use ripe bananas: They provide natural sweetness and a smoother consistency.
- High-powered blender: A strong blender or food processor is key for a creamy, ice-cream-like texture.
- Customize flavors: Add a pinch of cinnamon, a few fresh mint leaves, or even a small handful of blueberries for variation.
- Vegan swap: Replace Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt to keep it dairy-free and still creamy.
Serving Suggestions
This Zero-Point Strawberry Ice Cream can be enjoyed on its own for a guilt-free treat, or topped with fresh berries, a sprinkle of cocoa nibs, or crushed nuts for added texture and flavor. It pairs beautifully with light fruit salads or a simple granola topping for a refreshing summer dessert.
Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week. To serve after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Stirring halfway through freezing can help maintain a smooth texture.
