What Is Nice Cream?
Nice cream: ever heard of it? It gets its kind name from the fact that while it may resemble the sweet treat that so many love, it actually includes no added sugar, no dairy, and is healthy. Yes, healthy “ice cream”!
Nice cream can easily be defined as frozen fruit (primarily bananas for their creaminess), that are blended with a small amount of liquid, yielding a light, creamy treat. Depending on how much liquid is added, the mixture can be close to the texture of soft serve. Of course, the less liquid that is added, the thicker the mixture will be.
Flavoring Nice Cream
While nice cream doesn’t need much to be delicious, there are so many ways you can make it your own:
- Sprinkle with toasted nuts, coconut, or chocolate chips
- Add other frozen fruit like strawberries, mango, or pineapple
- Drizzle with something drippy like nut butter, cocoa “magic shell” (coconut oil + cocoa powder!), honey, or maple syrup
In this delectable version I use a classic flavor that is combined with banana on the regular: peanut butter.
It is so simple and so delicious. What gets better than that?
