Strawberry Nice Cream

• 4 frozen over-ripe bananas
• 200g frozen strawberry
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger or fresh ginger
• ½  teaspoon vanilla paste
• juice & zest of 1 lemon
• fresh strawberry ( for garnish)

1. Hull and cut the strawberries in half.
2. Peel and roughly chop the bananas.
3. Spread the strawberries and bananas on a tray, keeping them separate.
4. Freeze until solid, at least 6 hours.
5. Place the frozen strawberries into a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, about 10 pulses.
6. If the bananas are too frozen, let them thaw for a few minutes before blending. Add the slightly thawed bananas, vanilla paste, turmeric, ginger, lemon juice and zest to the food processor with the strawberries. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
7. Once smooth, transfer the mixture to a container. To prevent a hard freeze, wrap the container in an oven cloth to keep the texture soft for several hours.
8. When ready to serve, scoop the smoothie mixture into bowls or glasses. Garnish with fresh strawberries.
