Strawberry-Banana Ice Cream
On hot days, it will be very pleasant to enjoy fruity strawberry-banana ice cream. Especially if you know for sure that this dessert is made from natural ingredients. Fruity ice cream, which contains only the healthiest components, can be easily made at home in your kitchen. Bright, strawberry ice cream based on ripe bananas can be made even by a child. This ice cream can be classified as proper nutrition (PP). This dessert contains no eggs, sugar, dry or condensed milk. The sweetness and thick consistency of the ice cream come from very ripe bananas. Strawberry adds juiciness and a rich bright color to the dessert. Slightly perceptible hints of mint and a pleasant aftertaste are added by a small amount of mint leaves. However, mint in this dessert should be added at your discretion. In combination with strawberry, banana, and mint, lemon juice gives the ice cream a certain exotic taste; in the summer heat, it's an excellent combination of flavors.

Ingredients
Show ingredients
- strawberries – about 400 g;
- bananas (ripe) – about 400 g;
- lemon juice – 1-2 tsp (or to taste);
- mint (only leaves) – to taste and desire.
Preparation
- Wash all products and let them dry from water.
- Peel the bananas. They should be very ripe; only such bananas will be most beneficial for this dessert.
- Cut the bananas into thin circles, three to four millimeters.
- The strawberries should also be ripe and sweet. Remove the green stems from the strawberries.
- Cut large strawberries in half, or possibly into four parts. If the strawberries are small, they can be left whole.
- Transfer the prepared fruits to a container, wrap it with cling film or cover it tightly with a lid. Place the container with fruits in the freezer for at least two hours.
- After two hours, take the fruits out of the freezer. If they are very frozen, let them sit at room temperature for about ten minutes. It will be very difficult for the blender to process very frozen berries.
- Transfer the berries to a mixing bowl, add lemon juice. The juice will help the strawberries retain their bright color.
- Blend the fruits into a homogeneous mass. If your blender still has difficulty blending the frozen fruits, you can add a little milk to the fruits.
- Transfer half of the mixture to a container.
- To the remaining mixture, add a few mint leaves. Continue blending the mixture with the blender.
- Transfer the second part of the ice cream to the container as well. A powerful blender crushed all the mint to homogeneity. Cut a couple of mint leaves into very thin strips and add them to the strawberry-mint ice cream.
- Place the container with the ice cream in the freezer for half an hour.
- Serve the ice cream in dessert bowls, decorating it to your taste.
Based on ripe bananas, you can also make ice cream with other berries and fruits, and you will always have a different dessert. Only with such fruits as red and black currants, raspberries, and blackberries, there are many small seeds. It is better to first strain these berries through a sieve, and only after removing the seeds can the fruit puree be added to the banana.
I recommend making strawberry-banana ice cream at home for your loved ones. Both children and adults will undoubtedly enjoy it.
