How do you make a nice, icy acai bowl?

To make a great acai bowl, here are the key tips for achieving a perfectly icy texture:

Blend while very cold: use Terraçai by Nossa! acai puree while it’s still frozen solid.
Avoid adding too much liquid: the more milk or water you add, the runnier the mixture becomes.
Always add a banana (or another fruit): even half a banana is enough to add sweetness and a thicker texture. You can also freeze the banana in slices.

With these three ingredients, you'll get the perfect result for a texture worthy of an acai bowl.

Break up your 2 acai pods into pieces to make blending easier.

Blend the still-frozen acai puree with the banana and a splash of sweetener. The texture should remain thick, almost like sorbet.

A little melted dark chocolate to draw the snowmen's faces
