Chef's Note

The basic technique – from freezing correctly to getting the right texture – is covered in our Nice Cream guide.

Raspberries bring so much natural flavor that the banana taste almost completely fades into the background – ideal if you prefer fruity over banana-forward. The tiny seeds are broken up evenly in the high-performance blender and are barely noticeable. How much maple syrup you add depends on how tart your raspberries are – add it gradually and taste as you go.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fresh or frozen raspberries – which is better?

Both work. Frozen raspberries make the ice cream firmer and colder; fresh ones give a slightly softer result. Since the frozen banana provides the chill, you can use whichever raspberries you have to hand.

Are the raspberry seeds noticeable in the ice cream?

In a high-performance blender the seeds are broken up finely and distributed evenly – they are barely noticeable. If you want a completely smooth texture, you can push the ice cream through a fine sieve before serving.

Can you taste the banana?

Barely. Raspberries have such a strong natural flavour that the banana mainly contributes the creamy texture and fades into the background taste-wise. That makes the ice cream fruity-fresh rather than banana-forward.
