Ingredients required for the making of spinach kiwi ice cream

Fresh spinach leaves – Use bright green colour, fresh, and soft spinach leaves for this recipe. They also give a nice green colour without the use of any chemicals.

Kiwi – Choose overripe kiwi, they are sweeter in taste and gives a nice flavour to the ice cream.

Icing sugar – It is a very fine sugar that easily blend with the ice cream mixture, provides a smooth texture. If icing sugar is not handy grind regular sugar into a very fine powder by adding 1 tsp cornflour in it.

Coconut Milk – I have used dry coconut milk powder and mix it with water to make the coconut milk but fresh coconut milk is also be used.

Non- dairy whipped cream – As we are making this ice cream dairy-free and vegan so non-dairy whipping cream is used. But you can use regular fresh cream or heavy whipping cream if not want a dairy-free version.

*Note – I have used non dairy whipping cream that is already sweetened. That’s why i used very less amount of sugar. But if you use fresh cream or full fat dairy cream increase the sugar quantity according to your taste.

Transfer this mixture into a bowl and put it in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours.

Final making of ice-cream

Place a mixing bowl and hand beater attachments in the freezer for at least 30-40 minutes.

Tips and tricks

Use fresh, soft and bright green colour spinach leaves and overripe kiwi for this recipe.
I have used coconut milk because it is a vegan recipe, but you can use dairy-based toned or full-fat milk as per your choice.
To reduce ice crystals and increase the creaminess, add non-dairy condensed milk instead of sugar.
Use chilled cream for whipping. keep a container in the freezer for at least half an hour before whipping cream in it.
Don’t over beat the cream.
Freeze the ice cream for at least 7-8 hours or best overnight.
