Easy Nice Cream (DF, GF, SF, Vegan)

Who else screams for ice cream?

Here in Charlotte, it stays in the 90s this time of year. With the humidity, it can feel closer to 100 some days. I love where I live, but humidity is the bane of my existence. That’s one of the reason to love ice cream. What happens when you can’t have dairy? Well, there are some really yummy dairy-free “frozen dessert treats”. However, you can make your own. No churning involved! It’s called nice cream.

What is nice cream? It has a base of blended bananas with other ingredients mixed it. This particular nice cream recipe includes strawberries and blueberries.

This recipe requires a few ingredients and only a few minutes. As you’ve probably noticed by now, that’s our favorite kind of recipe. You’ll want to make it all summer long! It’s perfect for parties, cookouts, and get togethers.

We had fresh blueberries and strawberries, so we decided to freeze them. We used them for both
the blender and the topping.

When placing the banana blend back in the freezer, leave it for approximately 5 minutes. Otherwise,
it’ll start melting at room temperature.

This nice cream is a really great alternative for ice cream or dairy-free alternatives. It’s super easy to
make. Nice cream is a very healthy snack option as well!
