Healthy Nice Cream Frozen Treat (Printable)

Creamy frozen blend of ripe bananas and natural flavors for a wholesome dairy-free sweet treat.

# What You’ll Need:

01 - 3 large ripe bananas, sliced and frozen

02 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

03 - 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (for chocolate variation)

04 - 1/2 cup frozen berries (for berry variation)

05 - 1 tbsp chopped nuts

06 - 1 tbsp cacao nibs

07 - Fresh fruit slices

01 - Place the frozen banana slices into a high-powered blender or food processor.

02 - Blend on high, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until the mixture is completely creamy and smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes.

03 - Add vanilla extract or any optional flavor additions such as cocoa powder or frozen berries, then blend again until fully combined.

04 - For a firmer, scoopable texture, transfer the nice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1 to 2 hours before serving.

05 - Scoop into bowls, add desired toppings, and serve immediately.

01 -

It legitimately tastes like soft serve ice cream but the entire ingredient list fits on one line and costs less than a bus ticket.
You can eat the whole bowl for breakfast and feel zero regret about it, which is not something most desserts can claim.

02 -

Do not try to rush the blending process because underprocessed nice cream has a gritty texture that reminds you unpleasantly of chunky baby food.
Freezing the bananas whole instead of sliced creates a rock solid mass that will burn out your blender motor before it ever becomes creamy, so always slice first.

03 -

Peel your bananas before freezing every single time because peeling a frozen banana is a miserable experience that will make you question why you started this recipe in the first place.
If you want to meal prep, freeze individual portions in silicone muffin cups so you can pop out exactly what you need without having to thaw a giant container.
