Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas sliced and frozen
- ½ cup pomegranate seeds
- ¼ cup pomegranate juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional Toppings
- Extra pomegranate seeds
- Coconut flakes
- Chopped almonds or pistachios
- Granola
Instructions
- Peel the bananas, slice them into coins, and freeze them for 2–3 hours until completely firm.
- Add the following ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor:
- Frozen banana slices
- Pomegranate seeds
- Pomegranate juice
- Vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Blend until the mixture becomes smooth, thick, and creamy.
- Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything mixes evenly.
- Blend until the mixture reaches a soft-serve ice cream consistency.
- Serve immediately for a soft texture, or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1–2 hours for a firmer scoopable texture.
- Top with extra pomegranate seeds, coconut flakes, or chopped nuts before serving.
Notes
- Fully frozen bananas are essential for achieving the creamy ice-cream-like texture.
- Add pomegranate juice gradually to avoid making the mixture too runny.
- A high-speed blender or food processor helps create the smoothest nice cream.
- If the mixture is too thick to blend, add a small splash of pomegranate juice.
