Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Für eine vegane Version einfach pflanzlichen Hüttenkäse und Ahornsirup verwenden. Die Süße kann individuell angepasst oder durch alternative Süßungsmittel wie Stevia oder Mönchsfrucht ersetzt werden. Ein Löffel Kakaopulver oder ein Hauch Instantkaffee bringt neue Geschmacksrichtungen ins Spiel. Beim Mix-In kreativ werden!

Varianten und Anpassungen

Probiere verschiedene Toppings wie frische Früchte, gehackte Nüsse oder Kekskrümel für zusätzlichen Genuss. Schoko-Chips, Beeren oder sogar ein Swirl Erdnussbutter machen jede Portion einzigartig. Wer es besonders cremig mag, rührt nach einer Stunde Gefrieren einmal um.

Serviervorschläge

Am besten vor dem Servieren 10 Minuten antauen lassen und mit einem Eisportionierer anrichten. Garniere das Eis mit frischen Beeren, Schokoraspeln oder zerbröselten Vollkornkeksen. Auch als Dessert im Glas mit Toppings oder als cremiger Snack nach dem Training ein Hit!
