Peanut Buddy Nice Cream (dairy-free delicious frozen dessert)

Jump To Recipe

If there ever was a power couple, it’s peanut butter and banana. It’s the perfect flavor combination of sweet and creamy meets protein rich healthy fats. So, it seems only natural to add our good friend, peanut butter, to nice cream, which is made from just frozen bananas. The beautiful thing about nice cream, other than it’s dairy-free deliciousness, is that you can make it in about 5 minutes. Because you’re just blending frozen bananas, there’s no churning or additional freezer time. It’s about as healthy and easy as a homemade dessert can get. You can often find black spot bananas (really ripe bananas) discounted at your local grocer. This is the perfect time to stock your freezer with these golden nuggets for whenever a nice cream craving strikes!

Ingredients

4 very ripe bananas, frozen (black spot bananas)

¼ cup of creamy peanut butter

1 teaspoon of vanilla

A pinch of fine sea salt

Method For Making Peanut Buddy Nice Cream

1.     First peel your very ripe bananas and pop them in the freezer. The perfect nice cream banana is past the point where you would want to eat it fresh out of the peel. The skin will be soft and covered all over with dark brown or black spots, indicating that the starches have turned to simple sugars, making them naturally very sweet. Once frozen, cut them into chunks. Bananas that are just slightly thawed blend up creamiest so you can microwave them for 30 seconds, or just let them sit on the counter for a short while before slicing. You’ll know they are ready to blend when you can make a slight dent in the banana when pressed.

2.     A high-powered blender is really helpful when making nice cream as it powers through the frozen fruit creating a super creamy consistancy. I use a Vitamix which has a tamper that enables you to push the food down and around the blade. If you have a blender without a tamper, you will just need to stop periodically to scrape the sides of the container.

3.     Add your bananas, peanut butter, vanilla and salt to the container. Don’t worry, you won’t taste the salt but it will help marry the flavors together. Blend, starting on low and working up to medium speed, until the mixture is creamy and looks like thick soft serve. This takes about a minute. The friction of the blades creates heat which will melt your nice cream, so be carefull not to overblend.

Scoop the dairy-free deliciousness into individual bowls or cones, pile it high with your favorite toppings, or put it in the freezer for later.

Variation: Add 1 cup of frozen blueberries for a PB & J nice cream.

Helpful Tip:

If freezing for later, let it thaw until scoopable before serving.

Berry Blast Nice Cream, deliciously dairy-free ice cream made with bananas and mixed berries

Jump To Recipe

If you’ve been thinking about making a dairy-free ice cream but were reluctant to tackle the ice cream churn variety, then let me introduce you to your new best friend, nice cream. Here’s the scoop, it’s just frozen over-ripe bananas that are sliced and blended in a high-powered blender or food processor into a dreamy vanilla colored soft serve. Add in frozen mixed berries and a splash of vanilla and you’ve got a sweet, creamy, tangy frozen dessert that’s just as healthy as a fruit smoothie, but looks and tastes like ice cream. You can often find black spot bananas (really ripe bananas) discounted at your local grocer. This is the perfect time to stock your freezer with these golden nuggets for whenever a (n)ice cream craving strikes!

Ingredients

4 large very ripe bananas, frozen (black spot bananas)

2 cups of mixed frozen berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)

1 teaspoon of vanilla

A pinch of fine sea salt

A high-powered blender is really helpful when making nice cream as it powers through the frozen fruit creating a super creamy consistancy.

   3.  Now we’re ready to add the berries. The frozen berries will incorporate easier into already blended bananas so make sure you blend the bananas first. Blend the berries until the whole mixture is smooth and looks like soft serve ice cream.

Your nice cream is all ready! You can scoop it into individual bowls or cones, pile it high with your favorite toppings, or put it in the freezer for later.

Mint Chip Nice Cream

Mint Chip Nice Cream

Jump To Recipe

I have so many good things to say about nice cream, so let’s start with the most obvious…it’s incredibly creamy, sweet and delicious without an over-powering banana taste. Even very brown, mushy bananas, when frozen, blend up into a creamy vanilla colored soft-serve. It’s also completely healthy, free from refined sugar and other processed ingredients. You can whip up this nutritious dessert in minutes with just a couple of ingredients. My mint chip nice cream is blended with an avocado for a lovely pale green color and silky richness.

Ingredients

1 avocado

4 very ripe bananas, frozen (black spot bananas)

½ teaspoon of mint extract (or about 20 peppermint leaves)

A pinch of fine sea salt

3 tablespoons of cacao nibs, plus more for topping (you can also use dairy-free mini chocolate chips)

Method

First, peel your very ripe bananas and pop them in the freezer. The perfect nice cream banana is past the point where you would want to eat it fresh out of the peel. The skin will be soft and covered all over with dark brown or black spots, indicating that the starches have turned to simple sugars, making them naturally very sweet. Once frozen, cut them into chunks. Bananas that are just slightly thawed blend up creamiest so you can microwave them for 30 seconds, or just let them sit on the counter for a short while. You’ll know they are ready to blend when you can make a slight dent in the banana when pressed.

A high-powered blender is really helpful when making nice cream as it powers through the frozen fruit creating a super creamy consistancy. I use a Vitamix which has a tamper that enables you to push the food down and around the blade. If you have a blender without a tamper, you will just need to stop periodically to scrape the sides of the container.

Next add your peeled and de-stoned avocado followed by the bananas, mint extract (or peppermin leaves) and pinch of salt. Don’t worry, you won’t taste the salt, but it will help marry the flavors together. Adding the soft avocado first also helps the blender grab onto the frozen bananas. If you are using mint leaves, make sure they are pepperint leaves. Peppermint leaves give the mintiest flavor and clean taste. Using spearmint leaves can create a grassy taste in your nice cream.

Blend until the mixture is creamy, pale green and looks like thick frosting. This takes about a minute. Stir in the cacao nibs or mini dairy-free chocolate chips.

Your nice cream is all ready! You can scoop it into individual bowls or cones, sprinkle with more cacao nibs, or put it in the freezer for later.

Helpful Tip: If freezing for later, let it thaw until scoopable before serving.
