Baking tools for this recipe
Instructions
- Break the frozen açaí packs into pieces under warm running water for a few seconds so they loosen, or let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes.
- Add the açaí, frozen banana, sweetener and cold milk to a high-powered blender. Pulse and use the tamper to push the mix down.
- Blend until the texture is thick like soft-serve, adding a splash of liquid only if the blades stall.
- Scoop immediately into a chilled bowl, since the mixture melts quickly.
- Add the granola and diced banana on top and finish with a thin line of condensed milk if you like.
- Eat at once with a spoon.
Tips
- Use unsweetened purée packs from the freezer section.
- Chill the bowls ahead so the dessert stays thick.
