Baking tools for this recipe

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Add the açaí, frozen banana, sweetener and cold milk to a high-powered blender. Pulse and use the tamper to push the mix down.
  3. Blend until the texture is thick like soft-serve, adding a splash of liquid only if the blades stall.
  4. Scoop immediately into a chilled bowl, since the mixture melts quickly.
  5. Add the granola and diced banana on top and finish with a thin line of condensed milk if you like.
  6. Eat at once with a spoon.

Tips

  • Use unsweetened purée packs from the freezer section.
  • Chill the bowls ahead so the dessert stays thick.
  • Good with cold coffee.
