Cool down with this luscious and guilt-free Tahini Blueberry Blender Ice Cream, a raw, plant-based treat thatβs as nutritious as it is delicious! This vegan "nice cream" combines the natural sweetness of frozen blueberries and bananas with the rich, nutty flavor of tahini, elevated by a touch of maple syrup and fragrant vanilla. Made in just 10 minutes using a high-speed blender, this dairy-free, no-churn dessert is creamy, refreshing, and packed with antioxidants. Perfect as a soft-serve straight from the blender or frozen for a firmer scoop, this refined sugar-free treat is a wholesome indulgence everyone will love. Top it with fresh blueberries, a tahini swirl, or crunchy nuts for added flair!
1. Begin by slicing the bananas into small chunks before freezing them overnight if not already frozen.
2. In a high-speed blender or food processor, add the frozen blueberries, frozen banana pieces, tahini, maple syrup (or agave nectar), vanilla extract, almond milk, and a pinch of sea salt.
3. Blend on high, using a tamper or pausing to scrape down the sides as needed, until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overblend to keep it thick and icy.
4. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup or agave nectar, if desired.
5. Serve immediately as a soft-serve ice cream or transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1-2 hours for a firmer texture.
6. Scoop into bowls and enjoy! Optionally, garnish with extra blueberries, a drizzle of tahini, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts.
