How To Make A Gluten-Free Vegan Healthy Frozen Smoothie Bowl.

Intro

I am a lover of cheesecakes, and this recipe was my attempt to create a healthier version. Instead of having the delicious but unhealthy creamy centre of a cheesecake, I replaced it with a frozen smoothie. I think it’s a really nice way to enjoy a cool and refreshing treat while still having a sweet and creamy dessert.

As you can see from the image above, I decided to use a combination of a banana smoothie and a blueberry smoothie (both recipes are linked below). However, for the actual recipe, for simplicity’s sake, I decided to just list the blueberry smoothie recipe—just to let you know in case it was a bit confusing. I do think using the smoothies together creates a lovely blended aesthetic, so be sure to give it a try!

I haven’t added it as mandatory in the recipe, but I decided to top the frozen smoothie bowl with a biscuit base, fresh banana slices, and fresh blueberries. However, all of these extra little toppings are up to you and whatever you fancy!

Tips and Tricks

Deciding On How Long To Freeze The Frozen Smoothie Bowl

I have given the guide of 3 hours to freeze the frozen smoothie bowl with a biscuit base, as that is what worked for my freezer. However, depending on the power of your freezer and also the size of the freezer-friendly dish (whether you decide to make a big portion or individual single servings—I recommend the single-serving containers for best results), it may take longer or shorter.

How To Know When The Frozen Smoothie Bowl With A Biscuit Base Is Done

To tell whether the frozen smoothie bowl is finished or not, grab a fork and gently scratch the surface. If it is liquid, then freeze for longer. If it is creating a crisp sound but you can still put your fork through it—as long as it is hard—then it is ready (you want a slightly more done version of a slushy so it keeps its consistency, but not so far gone that it is a frozen block of ice). If it is a frozen block of ice, then I recommend defrosting for 5–10 minutes until you get the correct consistency.

Preparing The Frozen Smoothie Bowl With A Biscuit Base In Advance/ The Night Before

If deciding to prepare the day before and freeze overnight/for 24 hours, to avoid serving a frozen block of ice, make sure to defrost for approximately 5–10 minutes.

Deciding On The Flavour Of Your Frozen Smoothie Bowl With A Biscuit Base

For this recipe I decided to use a blueberry smoothie (in the picture I mixed a blueberry and banana smoothie to get the cool colour combination), however, if a blueberry smoothie is not what you fancy that day then I have a vast array of smoothie recipes to choose from which you can choose instead. Including:

Consistency and Taste

You must always make a smoothie that has a thick consistency (and must contain yoghurt) so that it creates a creamy dessert as opposed to an ice lolly with biscuit as the base.

Measurements

Remember measurements of the ingredients may need to change depending on the size of the freezer-friendly dish(es).

Choosing the Correct Biscuit Base for You

You can decide whether you want a chocolate base—such as cookies and cream or Bourbon biscuits—instead of a custard cream (all options should be gluten-free and vegan, of course). However, if you choose a biscuit base alternative to custard creams or the ones listed above, make sure the biscuit has a creamy centre, like a custard cream. That creamy centre is essential, as it helps bind the biscuit base together.

To Flip Or Not To Flip The Dessert?

I decided to flip the dessert in the image above mainly to demonstrate to audiences what it will look like. However, that can often lead to a bit of a mess, frankly, so I would recommend leaving the frozen smoothie bowl in its dish when deciding to eat.
