Sakura (Cherry Blossom) Nice Cream
This is truly a treat! Capture the ethereal beauty of cherry blossoms in springtime and send your taste buds into serene bliss. Preserved cherry blossoms add a subtle floral, salty quality to creamy, rich banana-based ice cream. It's like nothing you've ever tasted before! You can make your own preserved blossoms or pick some up at a local Asian market or Amazon.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 Bananas chunked and frozen, about 3 heaping cups of chunks
- ½ cup Plant milk any kind, plus extra if needed for blending
- 2 tbsp ground Preserved Cherry Blossoms from just under ¼ cup dried blossoms, ground in blender
- Whole Preserved Cherry Blossoms for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Put frozen banana chunks, plant milk, and ground preserved cherry blossoms into the blender or food processor. Blend. Add more plant milk if its too thick and needs a little more liquid to get it blended.
- Blend until smooth. Its a lot like soft-serve at this point. Many cherry blossom festivals serve cherry blossom soft serve, so this is perfect. If you want it firmer, scrape into a freezer-safe container and freeze about an hour.
Notes
If you don't want to make your own preserved cherry blossoms, you can purchase them from Amazon.
