PB Banana Nice Cream For the Win
It is HOT, HOT, HOT here and across most of the states, and this recipe is EXACTLY what we need. Creamy delicious “Nice Cream” that taste like delicious soft serve. It’s not ice cream, it’s nice cream because it’s nice to your body. No dairy, animal products or refined sugars. Just 2 Ingredients for the base, plus desired toppings! Just how I like my recipes, simple and craveable!
Nice Scream, You Scream, We All Scream
This recipe actually makes me want to jump up and scream and shout! I’ve never been one to LOVE Ice cream, but for some reason this summer, I can’t stop craving it. But just the thought of all that dairy makes my stomach ache. But this Nice Cream satisfies my ice cream cravings, without any of the bellyaches. It’s a win-win! What’s not to love about this recipe?
- Dairy Free, Vegan, Refined Sugar Free
- Adds Fruit to your diet, let’s be honest we all need extra fruits and veggies in our diets
- Completely customizable to meet your cravings any day of the week
- 2 Ingredients, and pretty much 1 step. What’s better than that?
What Makes This Vegan & Dairy Free, Paleo
I usually take a minute to explain what makes each recipe on this site fall into the dietary categories, so people get a better idea of what each diet is about. This one is pretty self-explanatory, we use a dairy-free milk alternative instead of traditional cows milk or heavy cream that’s often used in ice cream. This swap makes it both dairy free and vegan. The bananas provide a natural sweetness, so the base is naturally paleo because there is no refined sugar. However, peanut butter is not paleo-friendly because peanuts are actually a legume, not a nut. But you can use extra frozen fruit or almond butter.
What Ingredients Do You Need?
- Bananas
- Dairy Free Milk of Choice (I used almond, but you can use coconut, or try my Homemade Vegan/Gluten Free Oat Milk)
- Vanilla (Optional but highly recommend. Try my 30 Minute Instant Pot Vanilla Extract)
