Vegan Strawberry Banana Nice Cream Recipe
(Serves 2–3)
Ingredients:
- 2–3 frozen bananas, sliced
- 2 cups (about 300g) frozen strawberries (or fresh + extra ice)
- ½–¾ cup (120–180ml) plant milk (oat, almond, or coconut) — adjust for desired thickness
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Optional add-ins:
- A scoop of vegan strawberry or vanilla ice cream for extra creaminess
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup (if you prefer it sweeter)
- Fresh lemon juice (½ tsp) for brightness
Instructions:
- Prep the fruit: Make sure your bananas and strawberries are fully frozen for the best creamy texture.
- Blend: Add the frozen bananas, frozen strawberries, plant milk, and vanilla to a high-speed blender or food processor.
- Process: Blend on high, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Add a splash more plant milk only if it’s too thick to blend. Continue until smooth and creamy (it should resemble soft-serve ice cream).
- Serve immediately: Scoop into bowls and enjoy right away for soft-serve consistency. Or transfer to a loaf pan and freeze for 1–2 hours for a firmer scoop.
- Garnish: Top with fresh strawberries, banana slices, granola, or a drizzle of melted dark chocolate.
Storage: Best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks — let it thaw for 10–15 minutes before scooping.
Pro Tips for the Creamiest Nice Cream
- Use very ripe bananas — the spottier, the sweeter and creamier the result.
- Frozen fruit is key — it gives that thick, ice-cream-like texture without needing an ice cream maker.
- Blender matters — a high-speed blender (like Vitamix) works best, but a food processor also does a great job.
- Flavor variations: Add a handful of spinach for a green boost, cocoa powder for chocolate strawberry, or mint leaves for a fresh twist.
- Make it a smoothie bowl: Use less plant milk and top with your favorite granola, coconut flakes, and extra berries.
This Vegan Strawberry Banana Nice Cream is bright, fruity, and seriously addictive — the perfect way to use up frozen fruit!
