Making ice cream at home has become a must during the summer. We love that the frozen fruit can easily be blended to enjoy anytime. This Fruit Ice Cream is a crowd pleaser.

What is Fruit Ice Cream?

Fruit Ice Cream is actually called sorbet. Sorbet is a frozen dessert made up of fruit that has been puree and usually an added sweetener.

Ice Cream, sherbet, and gelato usually have dairy in it, fruit ice cream is usually dairy free. It is a good vegan option.

How to Make Fruit Ice Cream:

Add Fruit to Blender – Place the frozen fruit and frozen bananas in a blender or a food processor.

Then add in the water. Blend or process on high speed for a few minutes until the mixture is completely smooth.

Enjoy or Freeze – You can enjoy the ice cream as is or you can move the mixture to a freezer safe container (like a loaf pan). If you place in a loaf pan, freeze for 2-3 hours to allow the ice cream to firm up if you prefer.

Serve and Enjoy – Then the ice cream is ready to serve and enjoy!

Variation Ideas:

The options are endless on what you can use to blend your favorite ice cream. Here are some of our favorites.

Mangos, Strawberries, and Peach Blueberry and Banana Peach and Banana Nutella and Banana Any fresh fruit and frozen berries Heavy Cream or Condensed Milk with Strawberries and Bananas with vanilla extract Coconut milk with pineapple and berries

Tips for The Best Ice Cream:

Bananas – Use ripe bananas to a naturally sweet ice cream. When I notice my bananas are getting to ripe, I place them in the freezer in a zip lock bag. Frozen Fruit – If you have fruit getting bad, place in the freezer to make smoothies or ice cream. Healthy Treat – No nee

We Made Strawberry Banana Ice Cream!

Strawberry Banana Ice Cream is one of our favorite combinations. The flavor of the two make the perfect ice cream. If you are wanting soft serve ice cream, then you can eat right out of the blender.

But it is just as easy to place the fruit blended ice cream in a container to freeze. It will take about 2 to 3 hours to freeze the ice cream. I like to make it the night before and then we freeze it overnight.
