Instructions
- Mise en place
Gather acai puree, peanut butter, banana, cocoa, milk, ice, and granola; set out a blender, spatula, bowl, spoon, and scale. · 2 min
What to look for: All ingredients are measured and the acai puree is still frozen.
- Load blender
Add milk, acai puree, banana, cocoa, peanut butter, and ice to the blender jar in that order to help the blades catch. · 1 min
What to look for: Liquid sits at the bottom and frozen ingredients are above it.
- Blend thick base
Blend on high, stopping once to scrape, until the mixture is smooth, thick, and just spoonable like soft sorbet. · 2 min
What to look for: The base looks glossy, dark purple brown, and holds soft peaks.
- Top bowl
Spoon the acai base into a chilled bowl and scatter granola over the surface while the blend is still cold and thick. · 1 min
What to look for: Granola rests on top without sinking quickly.
- Serve immediately
Serve immediately with a spoon, keeping the granola on top for crunch and the peanut butter flavor rich and creamy. · 2 min
What to look for: The bowl is cold, thick, and ready before the granola softens.

Ingredient substitutions
Banana
- Ice: Use extra ice only if banana is not desired; sweetness and body will drop.
Cocoa
- Cinnamon: Cinnamon keeps warmth in the bowl but removes the chocolate note.
Granola
- Banana: Use banana slices as a soft topping when crunch is not needed.
Milk
- Water: Water blends cleanly but makes the bowl less creamy.
Ice
- Acai puree: Extra frozen acai puree gives a stronger fruit flavor and thicker texture.
