To make this nice cream you need a food processor or high-speed blender. It might take several minutes to turn the frozen bananas and blueberries into the nice cream. There is no sweetener needed but you can add some if you want.
This Nice Cream can be served as soft serve or put in the freezer to get it firmer.
Ingredients:
3 frozen bananas, cut in coin shapes
½ cup frozen blueberries
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
1 teaspoon sugar or stevia (or another sweetener) (optional)
Directions:
Add to the food processor or high-speed blender the bananas, blueberries, vanilla extract, and a sweetener. Blend. This should take about 5-10 minutes. You may need to stop a couple of times to scrape down the sides of the food processor or blender
If you want soft serve nice cream serve immediately. Otherwise, put the nice cream in a freezer container and put in the freezer for a couple of hours. You will then be able to scoop out the nice cream into a bowl as it will be firmer. Take the nice cream out of the freezer for 30 minutes or more before scooping into a bowl.
Note:
Bananas need to be peeled and cut before freezing them as it is not possible to peel or cut them once they are frozen. Sweeten the nice cream to your taste
The sunshine and warmth are finally here to linger it seems, and it's reason enough to celebrate with a frozen treat, I reckon! This quickly whipped and delicious Hazelnut Honey Nice Cream is just the thing! Happy Thursday!
Ingredients (makes about 1 cup; serves 1):
1 large Frozen Banana

2 tablespoons semi-skimmed milk
a tablespoon unsalted sunflower seeds, for garnish (optional)
Honey, for drizzling (optional)
Place Frozen Banana slices in a food processor. Add Hazelnut Honey. Process on high speed, gradually adding milk, until mixture is paler, smooth, and the texture of just-churned ice cream.
Serve Hazelnut Honey Nice Cream immediately for a soft serve, sprinkled with sunflower seeds and drizzled with honey, if desired; or freeze a couple of hours in a sealed container.

My favourite way to start the day lately / such a perfect breakfast on hot summer days. 😍 Healthy mango, pineapple and blueberry ‘ice cream’. I often add some walnuts on top as well to add a boost of healthy fats (it’s such a great source of omega 3 ALA).
What I use:
80g frozen mango
70g frozen pineapple
70g frozen blueberries
1-2 tsp sugar (or honey)
1 cup of whole milk (or 120g plain Greek-style yoghurt + a bit of water)
--------
I know that originally ‘nice cream’ was made with just fruit (often frozen banana as a base) but I personally much prefer this version with milk or yoghurt. It’s so much more satisfying in my opinion, the macros are more balanced and it boosts the nutritional content (calcium, B12, iodine, etc). 👍
