Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Remove the frozen strawberries from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to slightly soften.
- Place the frozen strawberries into a high-powered food processor or high-speed blender.
- Add the unsweetened almond milk to the strawberries to help with blending and create a creamy texture.
- Sprinkle the sweetener of choice evenly over the strawberries and almond milk.
- Pour in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile of the soft serve.
- Blend or process the mixture on high speed, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the container with a spatula.
- Continue blending until the mixture reaches a smooth, soft-serve like consistency, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- If the mixture is too thick, add a small amount of additional almond milk to help achieve the desired creamy texture.
- Serve immediately in chilled dessert bowls or glasses for the best soft serve experience.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or a light dusting of additional sweetener if desired.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Let your frozen strawberries sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before blending. This prevents your blender from working too hard and helps create a smoother texture.
- Blending Technique: Use short pulse bursts initially to break down the frozen fruit, then blend continuously. This prevents overworking your blender and ensures a creamy consistency.
- Sweetener Secrets: Experiment with different sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol to find your perfect balance without adding extra carbs.
- Texture Troubleshooting: If your soft serve is too thick, add almond milk gradually. If it's too thin, add more frozen strawberries or pop it in the freezer for a few minutes.
- Serving Suggestion: Chill your serving bowls beforehand to keep the soft serve from melting too quickly and maintain that perfect soft-serve texture.
