2 ingredients Blueberry Cocoa nutty "ice-cream"

As with all the best food blogs, recipes have to start with something irrelevant. Wondering why this recipe is called "2-ingredients" when there are clearly more than 2? Here is the story: the other day my husband and I were shopping in a supermarket, and I saw a very eye-catching brand of chocolate oatmilk. Printed on the package, it said "made with only 6 natural ingredients". We never buy oatmilk but I was curious about what are the 6 ingredients: water, oat, cocoa, cane sugar, salt, flavours. Feeling extremely inspired, I would consider my "ice-cream" contains only 2 ingredients: milk and flavours. 

This "ice-cream" is not creamy and it is horrible to look at. And the excess cocoa powder will stick around your mouth, so make sure you wipe your face with a wet tissue when you finish. But imho this is the best and the healthiest alternative to a real ice-cream you can ever get (with the little effort you are willing to make).  

This is all you need:

frozen blueberries

cocoa powder

almond slices/peanut butter/ tahini 

milk

The most important technique of this recipe is to control the proportion of milk vs frozen blueberries. If you have too many blueberries it's just frozen berries there is nothing "ice-cream" about it. If you have too much milk, you will melt the frozen berries at the bottom and they will turn into a soggy mushy texture that even I cannot appreciate. I will start with just a little bit of milk, let it sit and freeze by the berries at the bottom and add more when you finished digging up all the frozen milk. 

Can you use other frozen fruits instead? No. Here is the reason: you need the fruit that has the largest surface area per volume, so that the milk in contact with the surface area will freeze immediately and turn into "ice-cream". I tried strawberries, the milk ended up staying liquid and that was no fun :(

Cocoa powder is a must because I love it. Instead of almond slices I also tried peanut butter and tahini. I think all worked very well. The key is to have something fatty and nutty that goes with the sweet blueberries. You are encouraged to search in your kitchen what other random combinations that might work. Trust your instinct, what can go wrong?
