Here’s a simple recipe for Acai Berry Ice Cream:
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen acai berries
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Blend the frozen acai and mixed berries, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a blender or food processor until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a container and freeze for about 2 hours, or until the edges are firm.
- Use a fork to scrape the mixture and blend it again until it has a creamy texture.
- Repeat the process of freezing and scraping every hour, until the mixture is fully frozen (about 4 hours).
- Serve and enjoy your homemade Acai Berry Ice Cream!
Storage and serving
Store in a covered freezer-safe container and keep frozen between servings. Use a clean scoop; do not leave the whole batch out to soften repeatedly. Limit perishable food to two hours out of refrigeration, or one hour above 90°F (32°C). Food-safety guidance.
