Blender Ice Cream

Updated at: Thu, 17 Aug 2023 00:06:13 GMT

Step 1

Place all the ingredients in the Vitamix blender in the order listed and secure the lid.

Step 2

Start the blender on the lowest speed and quickly increase to the highest speed. Blend on high while using the tamper to push the frozen fruit down into the blades.

Step 3

Continue blending until the sound of the motor changes and four mounds form on top. This take about 30 seconds. Stop the blender! Don’t overmix or it will melt.

Step 4

Note: If your blender model has a “Frozen Desserts” program, you can select to run it while using the tamper to press the frozen fruit into the blades.

Step 5

Serving Time! Serve immediately for a smooth soft serve texture (my favorite!) or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for an hour or two to firm up to a more scoopable consistency.

Step 6

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

Step 7

Liquids first! The liquids should always be placed in the blender before the frozen fruit to help the blending process.

Step 8

Don’t over blend! STOP when you see the four mounds appear on top. It doesn’t take long (about 30 seconds). If you run the blender too long, it will start to heat up and melt the ice cream.

Step 9

Use the tamper! The tamper helps you press the frozen fruit into the blades for a delicious creamy texture in seconds. Frozen desserts usually don’t have enough liquid to blend properly without the help of a tamper. Only use the tamper designed for your blender! It will not be able to come into contact with the blades when inserted through the lid plug.

Step 10

Honey: Thicker varieties of honey sometimes doesn’t blend through properly. Therefore, if you are using honey as your sweetener, you may want to first combine it with the liquid before continuing.

Step 11

Strawberries + Cream: One of my favorites since I absolutely love strawberry recipes! Made with frozen strawberries, heavy cream, vanilla extract and sweetener of choice.

Step 12

Chocolate Cherry: Cherries and chocolate are a natural match! This flavor is made with frozen cherries, heavy cream or coconut milk, cocoa powder, sweetener of choice and a touch of almond extract.

Step 13

Pineapple: This one tastes like a pina colada! Made with frozen pineapple, coconut milk and sweetener of choice.

Step 14

Blueberry Lemon: Blueberries and lemon complement each other so well! Made with frozen blueberries, heavy cream or coconut milk, maple syrup and the zest and juice of a lemon.

Step 15

Peaches + Cream: Nothing says summer like peaches! This flavor is made with frozen peach slices, heavy cream, vanilla extract and sweetener of choice.

Step 16

Mango Coconut: This flavor gives me all the tropical vibes! Made with frozen mango, coconut milk and maple syrup or honey for sweetness.
