Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Stone Fruit: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Arrange plums and nectarines in a baking dish, cut side up. Drizzle apple cider evenly over the fruit. Sprinkle sugar over the tops. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Roast and Broil: Bake in the preheated oven for 17 minutes. Then, switch to the broiler and broil until the tops are beautifully browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning. (20 minutes)

04

Step

Prepare the Soft Serve: While the fruit is roasting, combine frozen bananas, almond milk, cinnamon, and cardamom in a high-speed blender. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. The mixture should resemble soft-serve ice cream. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Serve: Immediately spoon the cardamom banana soft serve into bowls. Top with the warm broiled stone fruit, a sprinkle of chia seeds, and fresh blueberries. (2 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of granulated sugar on the stone fruit.
If you prefer a firmer soft serve, chill the blended mixture in the freezer for 1 hour before serving.
Experiment with other stone fruits like peaches or apricots. You can also add a dash of vanilla extract to the soft serve for extra flavor.
Adjust the amount of cinnamon and cardamom to your liking. A pinch of nutmeg would also be a welcome addition to the soft serve.
