Peanut Butter Nice Cream With Caramel Sauce

This is Nice Cream which is a term that has come to represent any fruit-based treat free from loads of sugar and artificial flavors. Its a yummy ice cream made with frozen fruit (usually bananas) base and other add-ins! You simply blitz pieces of frozen fruit in a food processor or high-speed blender and the end result is a whole-food ice cream that is rich, creamy, and luscious enough for a special occasion yet light and easy enough for an any time indulgence. It’s called ‘nice cream’ rather than ice cream, just to differentiate the two. Nice cream is a super easy, take on traditional ice cream, yet made very differently.
