🍓 Zero-Point Strawberry Ice Cream

A light, refreshing, and naturally sweet frozen treat made with just fruit—no added sugar, no dairy, and no guilt. This recipe is especially popular for Weight Watchers–style zero-point eating, but anyone can enjoy it as a healthy dessert or snack.

📝 Description

Zero-Point Strawberry Ice Cream is a creamy, sorbet-style dessert made by blending frozen strawberries (and optional banana for extra creaminess). It has the texture of soft-serve ice cream and the bright, fresh flavor of ripe strawberries—without added sugar, fat, or artificial ingredients.

Perfect for hot days, late-night cravings, or when you want something sweet that still aligns with healthy eating goals.

🥣 Ingredients

Basic Version (100% Zero-Point):

  • 3 cups frozen strawberries (unsweetened)

Optional Add-Ins (still zero-point on most WW plans):

  • ½ frozen banana (adds creaminess and mild sweetness)

  • 1–2 tbsp water or unsweetened almond milk (only if needed for blending)

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Add frozen strawberries (and banana, if using) to a high-speed blender or food processor.

  2. Blend on high, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides.

  3. If the mixture is too thick, add liquid 1 tablespoon at a time until smooth.

  4. Blend until creamy and soft-serve–like.

  5. Serve immediately, or freeze for 30–60 minutes for a firmer texture.

💡 Notes

  • Best eaten fresh for soft-serve texture.

  • If freezing longer, let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.

  • Texture depends on blender strength—patience is key.

🔥 Tips for Best Results

  • Use fully frozen fruit for proper ice-cream texture.

  • Do not over-add liquid—it turns icy.

  • For extra strawberry flavor, add a few fresh strawberries at the end and pulse.

  • Silicone spatulas work best for scraping thick blends.

  • Serves: 1–2
