Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium bananas
- 100 grams / 3.5 oz purple sweet potato (cooked)
- 3 tbsps / 3 tablespoons granulated or liquid sweetener of choice
Instructions
- Preparation: Peel purple sweet potatoes and slice into uniform 1-inch chunks to ensure even cooking and smooth blending.
- Cooking: Steam or boil sweet potato pieces until fork-tender, approximately 10-12 minutes, then drain and cool completely to room temperature.
- Blending: Combine frozen banana slices, cooled sweet potato chunks, and flavoring ingredients in a high-powered blender, pulsing and blending until achieving a silky, lump-free consistency.
- Freezing: Transfer the creamy mixture into an airtight freezer-safe container, smoothing the surface evenly, and freeze for 2-3 hours to firm up the texture.
- Serving: Remove the container from the freezer, allow to soften at room temperature for 5-7 minutes, then scoop into serving bowls and garnish with optional toppings like chopped nuts or a cinnamon sprinkle.
Notes
- Optimize Potato Selection: Choose ripe, deep purple sweet potatoes with vibrant color and smooth skin for maximum flavor and natural sweetness.
- Prevent Texture Lumps: Steam or boil potatoes until fork-tender, ensuring complete cooling before blending to achieve ultra-smooth, creamy consistency.
- Freezing Pro Tip: Use shallow, wide container for faster and more even freezing, promoting better ice cream texture and preventing ice crystals.
- Serving Hack: Allow ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature for 5-7 minutes to enhance scoopability and release full flavor profile.
