5-minute Sugar-Free Very Berry Ice Cream {no machine needed}
Three ingredients and 5 minutes are all you need to make this easy sugar-free berry ice cream! No ice cream maker needed - this vegan frozen treat can be made in a food processor or blender!
Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen mixed berries
- 1 cup coconut milk or your favorite milk
- 1/2 tbsp powdered stevia or more to taste - you can also use honey or maple syrup
Instructions
-
Combine frozen berries, milk and stevia in the bowl of your food processor.
-
Process until smooth. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetener to your taste if needed.
-
You can eat this ice cream straight away (it will have a soft-serve texture). If you're not planning on eating it now, transfer it to a metal tin (I used a loaf pan) and place it in the freezer for 2 hours. Stir occasionally for a smoother ice cream.
Recipe Notes
If you're planning on freezing it for more than 2 hours, take it out of the freezer 5 to 10 minutes before serving to let it soften.
You can basically use any fruits you like for this recipe. Just freeze them ahead of time and follow the same recipe!
You could also use Greek yogurt instead of milk
You can also use honey, rice syrup or any of your favorite sweetener.
you can also use cottage cheese! 😉
Oh great idea, I’ve never thought about it!
great healthy frozen treat!
Thanks Dina!
This sounds absolutely wonderful, Marie. I normally immediately delete blog posts with ice cream recipes without even looking at them, but couldn’t do that this time… I am curious to know what kind of coconut milk you used – the canned stuff or the refrigerated kind in a carton. I am considering doing this with skim milk, which would increase the protein, but I’m thinking I would miss the flavor of the coconut milk. Does the coconut flavor come through? It will be nice to have an ice cream treat once in a while.
Susan this ice cream is totally guilt-free, no need to resist the temptation! I used canned coconut milk. I find the flavor to be very mild, you can barely taste it. I’m using it mainly to give a creamy consistency to the ice cream and to help the processor with the frozen fruits. Skim milk would work just fine. You could also use Greek yogurt if you wanted to.
Can you do this in a blender as well? Or only in a food processor? I only ask because I only have the blender to use, but this is sounds like a good base to use for Ice cream that won’t make me sick!
Yes, you can also use a blender for this recipe 🙂
You should newer use frozen berrys that you bought i frozen condition !!!!
You risk contamination with e-coli bacterias and from that serious infection.
Therefore allways heaten up your frozen berry to boiling point, before using them!!!!
Hi Charlotte! If you want to boil the berries, then freeze them again, feel free to do so 🙂
Homemade ice cream is still the best. I’m going to try this Very Berry flavor. Love it!
Thx really enjoyed it!! ?
Happy to hear Lily 🙂
It got really thick and wouldn’t process so I kept adding splashes of milk. It turned out FANTASTIC!
