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

Units Scale
  • 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.

  1. Add frozen banana chunks and raspberries to your food processor. 
  2. Pulse until broken down and blend smooth. Stopping as needed to move the fruit around and help it blend fully.
  3. 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. 
  4. 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. 
  5. 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.

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!
