Spinach kiwi ice cream recipe is a perfect healthy summer dessert with the goodness of both fruit and veggies. This homemade vegan ice cream recipe is made without any chemical, food colour or preservatives.
Add spinach leaves in boiled water and leave for 30 seconds, then strain it and put in the ice-cold water.
Leave it for 30 seconds and then drain excess water.
Making of kiwi and spinach ice cream base
In a mixer grinder, add chopped kiwi, blanched spinach, icing sugar, and coconut milk. Grind it into a fine paste.
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.
Now transfer whipping cream into the chilled mixing bowl. Whip the cream at a medium speed till it forms soft peaks to medium stiff peaks.
Now keep it aside and take out the frozen kiwi spinach paste, transfer it into a bowl and break the ice crystal. Then whip it for about 2-3 minutes.
Gently fold this mixture in the whipped cream.
Pour in a freezer-safe container and cover it with a cling film touching the surface. Place the container in the freezer to set for about 8-10 hours or best overnight.
Take out the container, leave it on the kitchen counter for 4-5 minutes and then scoop out the ice cream in the serving bowl and serve. Decorate with nuts, chocolate chips or fresh coconut flakes. ENJOY!

Notes
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.
*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.
