Description

This refreshing homemade Guava Ice Cream combines the tropical sweetness of fresh guavas with creamy coconut milk and natural maple syrup, creating a smooth, dairy-free treat perfect for warm days. Prepared using the Ninja Creami for a luscious texture, this recipe is easy to make and can be enjoyed as a healthy, tropical dessert garnished with a touch of Tajín for a hint of spice.

Ingredients

Fruit

  • 6-7 whole small fresh guavas (approx. 275 grams)

Liquid & Sweetener

  • 1 15-ounce can full fat coconut milk (stirred well and divided)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

Flavoring

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping (optional)

  • Tajín seasoning

Instructions

  1. Slice Guavas: Cut off the very end of each guava and discard it, then cut the guavas in half to prepare them for blending.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Place the guava halves into a blender along with the stirred coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  3. Blend: Blend the mixture until smooth, which should take about 1 minute to fully puree the guavas.
  4. Strain: Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the seeds, discarding the seeds left in the sieve.
  5. Freeze: Transfer the strained liquid to a Ninja Creami pint jar, secure the lid, and freeze for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight to achieve the right firmness.
  6. Blend in Ninja Creami: When ready, insert the pint jar into the Ninja Creami machine and process using the “ice cream” setting at full speed.
  7. Respin: If the texture appears powdery, perform 1 to 2 additional spins until the ice cream is super thick and creamy.
  8. Serve: Scoop the guava ice cream into bowls and optionally sprinkle with Tajín for an added spicy and tangy kick before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to stir the coconut milk well before measuring to ensure even consistency.
  • Freezing the mixture overnight yields a smoother texture during blending.
  • Adjust the amount of maple syrup based on your preferred sweetness level.
  • Tajín adds a nice contrast but can be omitted if you prefer a pure fruit flavor.
  • The Ninja Creami is essential for achieving the creamy texture in this recipe; substituting with a traditional ice cream maker may require different steps.
