Summer Quick Fix For Vegan Kids: Blueberry and Banana Ice-Cream

Pro Tip- While freezing, if you can make sure to rest the ice cream tub in a bigger airtight tub bedded with ice and rock-salt, and covered with the same after the ice cream tub is settled, will give you an advantage with texture.

Ingredients:

• A large banana or two medium
• Organic blueberries: 2 cups and a few more for garnish
• Dates: ½ cup; pitted
• Raisins: 1/4^th cup
• Cashews: a few
• Coconut milk (full fat): 2 cup
• Almond milk: 1 cup
• Blueberry essence: a few drops
• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

• Refrigerate the banana and blueberry well ahead of time.
• Boil the coconut milk separately to thicken the consistency further. Keep aside.
• Soak the raisin and cashew in water for a few hours, as well.
• Now, in a blender or smoothie-maker, pour in the coconut milk, almond milk and give a nice mix, until foamy.
• Next, put the raisin, cashew, dates, frozen blueberries, banana, a pinch of salt and the blueberry essence and blend until smooth and creamy. Pour the thick mix into an airtight container or ice cream tub.
• Put in some chopped blueberries and chopped dates and give a little mix with a spoon.
• Keep the tub stored in the freezer until the ice cream has started to set.
• After a few minutes, use a spoon to give a nice scrape and mix to the partially-set ice cream. Smoothen a bit and freeze again.
• The scraping and re-mixing gives the churned texture to the ice cream. So the more you do, the better it gets.
• Serve after it is frozen after 3-4 hours, topped with some fresh blueberries.
