Summer is on it’s way and one of the joys that come with summer is the lovely summer fruits we get! Think fresh pineapple, mangos, strawberries and feijoas! Also known as the pineapple guava in other areas of the world, the feijoa is a common fruit over summer in New Zealand and has a distinct sweet but also sour taste. This banana feijoa ice cream recipe has been sitting in my drafts for a while (hence the average photo – sorry about that I will update it when summer rolls around again!), ready to be shared.
This banana feijoa ice cream only uses three ingredients, all of which are good for you and will give you a bit of a sweet treat with no artificial ingredients. You will need a food processor for this recipe (you can likely make do with a blender or a gadget like the George Foreman Mix and Go), I use the Russell Hobbs Multi-Food Processor which is awesome and I’ve made quiet a few different recipes with it now!
Please don’t dismiss this recipe if you don’t like banana’s as I can’t stand the texture of bananas yet I really enjoy healthy banana ice cream! In fact we always have chopped up bananas in the freezer so we can easily whip up this healthy sweet treat for those times when you feel like you just need (okay want) something else after dinner! Feijoas are also one of the few fruits with seeds that I will eat! Feijoas and strawberries are in fact the only items with seeds that are on the super short list of fruits with seeds that I eat!
- 1 Banana
- 2-3 Feijoa’s
- 1/2 Tablespoon Coconut Cream
- Slice up your banana into coin size pieces and freeze.
- Scoop the flesh out of the feijoas and place into your food processor. I use the Russell Hobbs Multi-Food Processor.
- Pop the banana and coconut cream into the food processor.
- Process until smooth – this should only take a few moments. If it’s thicker than you would like add another 1/2 tablespoon coconut cream.
- Serve and enjoy!
What is your favourite summer fruit? – Please do scroll down and comment, I love hearing from you 🙂
Yum! I made something similar a while ago and it was awesome. When we have feijoas next year I’ll try out your recipe – coconut cream would make it so yummy and creamy.
It does make it nice and creamy, I love coconut cream in ice cream and smoothies for that reason!!
Ohhhh yuuuuuuum!!!!!!
So simple but so tasty!
Can add more fruits? If so, what kind to make it nice and sweet? Your recipe looks awesome! Will give it a go and see how 🙂
Hi Lala, yep you can add more fruit to make more ice cream. Just keep at least half banana to help keep that nice ice cream like texture 🙂
