Prep time, Cook time, Servings
Prep time: 5 minutes (plus freezing time for the fruit)
Cook time: 0 minutes
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients
4 cups fresh peaches, sliced and frozen
2 medium bananas, sliced and frozen
½ cup plain Greek yogurt (the secret to that ultra-creamy, high-protein base)
1-2 tbsp honey (depending on how sweet you want it)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: 2 ice cream cones and crushed peanut
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Freeze Your Fruit
For the perfect soft-serve consistency, make sure your fruit is fully frozen. Slice your fresh peaches and ripe bananas into uniform bite-sized pieces. Lay them out in a single layer in a freezer-safe dish or tray and freeze for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until solid.
2. Blend the Base
Add your frozen peach slices and frozen banana chunks directly into a high-speed blender or a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse a few times to break down the large frozen chunks into a coarse, crumbly texture.
3. Add the Creamy Ingredients
Open up the blender and add the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract right over the crumbled fruit.
4. Process Until Smooth and Creamy
Secure the lid and blend on high speed. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to keep the mixture moving. Continue processing for 1–2 minutes until the frozen fruit completely emulsifies with the yogurt and transforms into a thick, glossy, velvety soft-serve texture.
5. Scoop, Top, and Serve!
Transfer the soft-serve into a container if you want to freeze it for 10–15 minutes to make it firmer, or scoop it immediately straight out of the blender. For the ultimate video presentation, scoop the creamy peach soft-serve generously into ice cream cones, dip or sprinkle the top with crushed biscuit crumbs for a perfect crunch, and enjoy right away!
