There are lots of great flavors of healthier ice cream available these days, but there’s also a really simple way to make a delicious frozen treat at home, without any extra sweeteners or other additives.

With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a dairy-free, refined sugar free ice cream that is a fun recipe that everyone loves. The best part is that it is nutritious and made with real food ingredients. All you need to make this recipe is a food processor, some frozen fruit and you are good to go.

When you want a quick treat that you can make in just a few minutes, try this incredible recipe. 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.

It sounds too good to be true doesn’t it? Ice-cream just out of bananas – yeah right! About this little concoction, I cannot hold back. It IS amazing. You will need to keep going back and trying it and saying – that can’t be right.

It tastes like ice-cream and it is so damn good! This is definitely one for the recipe bible. You will be in awe of the creamy, fruitful deliciousness before your spoon even begins to melt into the bowl.

You can satisfy an ice cream craving guilt-free with this “nice cream“! Seems so simple, that it feels like you are cheating a bit… but to be honest – it’s delectable stuff. And let’s face it, why make it complicated when something this simple can taste insanely delightful!

Once you start making nice creams, you will stop buying store bought ice creams, the creaminess it has is nothing less than any ice cream and the plus point is, it is absolutely healthy!

Why you will love it!

It’s healthy ice cream! There’s no cholesterol or refined sugar added, with plenty of healthy fats to help keep you feeling satisfied. Sometimes other things are added.

Simple ingredients. All you need is 4-5 simple ingredients, which you may already have on hand in your pantry.

It’s delicious! Once you taste it, you won’t believe that this ice cream is made with frozen fruit. You don’t even need an ice cream maker for this dairy-free dessert.

I don’t know why it’s taken me this long to put up this recipe, because this is something I have been making regularly for the last decade at least, if not longer! I have been making a version of this soft serve for years now. It’s the world’s simplest recipe, but it’s out-of-this-world delicious.

I’m a huge dessert lover, but I don’t always love how it makes me feel. A blood sugar crash, a stomach ache, and a headache are just a few side effects I’ve felt from overindulgent sugar-laden desserts.

Still, I don’t want my healthy dessert to taste healthy, you know? I still want a little sweetness and satisfaction. Luckily, we have got this healthy nice cream for that!

If you are looking for a healthier treat, then this is the perfect homemade dessert recipe for you! After all, the only thing better than dessert is healthy dessert!

Servings 2

Ingredients

• 1 cup banana, slices, frozen
• 1 cup pineapple, chunks, frozen
• 1/2 cup vanilla or plain protein or collagen powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup extra of fresh or canned pineapple pieces, chopped to fold through

Toppings Optional

• Whipped coconut cream – recipe below in notes
• Toasted coconut flakes
• White chocolate chips
• Fresh fruit or berries

Instructions

• Place the frozen bananas and frozen pineapple in the food processor and blend on high speed until it becomes creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl a couple of times. It will take a few minutes, so be patient!

  Fold through the fresh or canned pineapple pieces for extra flavour and texture.

  Top your nice cream with whipped coconut cream (recipebelow in notes) toasted coconut or any other toppings you desire!

  Notes:

  This is best eaten right after making it, but it can be frozen for up to two months. I find that when you freeze nice cream, it gets very hard, because it’s made entirely of fruit. If you freeze the leftovers, you will need to let them thaw for a bit before enjoying.

Notes

Homemade Whipped Coconut Cream

Add even more nutrition and healthy qualities to many other dishes with nutrient-dense fluffy, whipped coconut cream.

It’s a dairy-free dessert topping that is not overly sweet and made with simple ingredients. This whipped coconut cream is just as thick, luscious, and creamy as dairy-full whipped cream and ideal for topping cakes, tarts, puddings, hot cocoa, and more.

Made with just 3 ingredients in 5 minutes of active time. Be sure to chill the canned coconut milk the day before you need it.
