Ingredients

  • 1 cup condensed milk – store bought or sugar-free recipe below in notes
  • 1 1/2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen, unthawed
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • If you are making your own homemade sugar-free condensed coconut milk,make it first and let it cool before making the nice cream (recipe link below in notes).
    Mash the berries, leaving a few larger chunks. Mix the berries with the coconut condensed milk, honey, vanilla extract and lemon juice. Taste test and add more honey or lemon juice if you think it needs it.
    Pour mixture into a glass dish, silicon or popsicle molds if you want to shape your frozen treat.
    Freeze: Place the container in the freezer and let the ice cream freeze until it reaches your desired consistency. It’s a good idea to give it a gentle stir after the first hour of freezing to ensure an even texture.
    Serving: When you are ready to serve the ice cream, simply remove it from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Then scoop and enjoy!
    Making Nice Cream Tips
    Pre-Freezing: For a soft serve nice cream that you can serve immediately,ensure your fruit is well-frozen before blending. This step is crucial for achieving a creamy ice cream-like texture.
    Variations: Feel free to customize your nice cream by adding a touch of citrus zest (lemon, lime or orange) for brightness or a handful of spinach for added nutrients (it won’t affect the flavor).
    Taste Testing: Adjust sweetness to your liking. If you prefer a sweeter nice cream, gradually add more honey and taste as you go.
    Serving: Serve immediately for a soft-serve consistency. If you prefer a firmer texture, transfer to an airtight container and freeze for an extra hour or two.
    Toppings: Get creative with toppings! Sprinkle crushed nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, or fresh berries on top for added texture and flavor.
    Leftovers: If you have leftovers, keep in freezer but allow the nice cream to thaw for a few minutes before scooping. It may harden a bit when frozen, so a short thawing period can help soften it.
    Enjoy the Process: Making nice cream is a fun and creative process. Experiment with different fruits and flavors to find your favorite combinations!
    Remember, nice cream is a forgiving recipe, so don’t be afraid to get creative and adapt it to your taste preferences. Enjoy the journey of crafting a delicious and healthier dessert option!
