Description
2 ingredients & no ice cream maker needed! This raspberry nice cream recipe is a perfect quick, refreshing treat! Dairy-free & no added sugar!
Ingredients
- 3 frozen bananas, chopped into chunks
- 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
- optional: splash of plant milk to help it blend if needed
- optional: dairy-free chocolate chips
- optional: 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
- optional: 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
*All the ingredients for this recipe are from our pantry and freezer tips!
Instructions
*To ensure your bananas are fully frozen it is best to freeze them at least 24 hours in advance. I find yellow, spotted bananas before they turn too ripe to provide the best taste and texture. Slice the bananas into chunks before freezing to make blending easier.
- Add frozen banana chunks and raspberries to your food processor.
- Pulse until broken down and blend smooth. Stopping as needed to move the fruit around and help it blend fully.
- If your machine is struggling to blend the fruit you can wait a couple minutes and allow the fruit to soften slightly or add a splash of plant milk. Just know that the more milk added the less firm the nice cream will be.
- Freeze in a freezer safe container. If it won’t be staying in the freezer for too long I’ve re-used yogurt containers or even frozen the ice cream in a loaf pan lined with parchment paper.
- You can enjoy this right away as a very soft serve type of “ice cream” bowl. Waiting 4-6 hours will give you a firmer soft serve and freezing overnight will produce a very firm nice cream. If you like this recipe, try our super creamy Peanut Butter Swirl Nice Cream and our Mint Chip Nice Cream!
Notes
Approximate Cost: CAD $1.15 ($0.18/100ml) vs. $0.33 – $1.50/100 ml for store-bought ice cream.
We keep this nice cream simple because it is so tasty as is! But feel free to dress it up by adding chocolate chips, cocoa powder for a chocolatey version, additional fruit (mango or other berries come to mind!) and/or added sweetener like maple syrup or date paste!
