Description
A Nice Cream Bowl is a delicious frozen treat made primarily from bananas. It’s a healthy alternative to traditional ice cream, providing the same creamy texture without the heavy dairy or refined sugars. The key to its creamy consistency is using frozen bananas, which, when blended, transform into a smooth, ice cream-like base.
Ingredients
2 large ripe bananas, sliced and frozen
2–3 tbsp milk of choice (almond, oat, coconut, or dairy)
½ tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional add-ins for flavor:
1 tbsp nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)
1 tbsp cocoa powder (for chocolate version)
½ scoop protein powder or collagen (for extra protein)
Dash of cinnamon or espresso powder for depth
Instructions
1️⃣ Freeze the Bananas
Peel and slice ripe bananas, then freeze them in a single layer for at least 2–3 hours (or overnight).
2️⃣ Blend
In a food processor or high-speed blender:
Add frozen banana slices, milk, vanilla, and salt.
Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed.
Start with 2 tbsp milk and add a bit more if it’s too thick — you’re aiming for a soft-serve consistency.
3️⃣ Serve
Scoop into a bowl and smooth the top for that perfect “nice cream swirl.” 🍦
Notes
For extra flavor and texture, top your nice cream with fresh berries, granola, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of nut butter. You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon or cacao nibs for a delightful crunch. Serve immediately for a creamy, refreshing treat.
