Acai Base

Method

Acai Base

  1. 1

    Prepare blender and ingredients

    Place frozen acai puree packets (break up if solid), frozen mixed berries, frozen banana (or chilled banana), and 1 cup of almond milk into a high-speed blender. If you prefer a slightly sweeter bowl, add 1 tablespoon honey or agave.

  2. 2

    Blend to thick sorbet consistency

    Pulse the blender several times to break up the frozen fruit, then blend on high. Use a tamper or stop/blend to avoid overheating. Scrape down the sides as needed. You want a thick, spoonable texture—add up to 2 tablespoons more milk only if the mixture is too stiff to move the blades.

  3. 3

    Adjust sweetness and texture

    Taste a small spoonful and add a little more honey if desired. When texture is a thick soft-serve (not pourable), stop blending.

Assemble Bowl & Toppings

  1. 4

    Divide the acai base between two bowls (or one large bowl). Use a spatula to smooth the top and create a shallow well for toppings.

  2. 5

    Arrange sliced fresh strawberries, fresh blueberries, and banana slices decoratively across the top of each acai bowl so each spoonful will have a mix of fruit.

  3. 6

    Sprinkle granola evenly over the bowls for crunch, then dust with shredded coconut and scatter chia seeds across the surface.

Nutella Drizzle & Finish

  1. 7

    Warm NUTELLA®: put 2 tablespoons NUTELLA® in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 10–15 seconds, or place in a small heatproof bowl and add 1 teaspoon hot water and stir until glossy and pourable. Do not overheat.

  2. 8

    Drizzle: Using a spoon, drizzle the warmed, thinned NUTELLA® over the assembled bowls in a zigzag pattern. If using, lightly drizzle 1 teaspoon honey over each bowl for extra shine and sweetness.

  3. 9

    Serve immediately so the base stays thick and toppings remain crisp.
