Nice cream: ice cream that is nice to you by being healthy!
Normally, I don’t try to make classic dessert-type recipes into a healthier version because they tend to leave you disappointed. But this one is so good I promise! You can have a big ol’ scoop of “ice cream” and not feel guilty about it!
There’s no cream involved in this recipe. No added sugar and it’s still delicious! I know, I still don’t understand it. Just trust me. Simple ingredients like bananas, cocoa powder and banana make it yummy and simple. My nice cream is also vegan and gluten free if that’s important to you!
When I think of dessert, I tend to crave a rich chocolatey flavor. And what goes better with chocolate than peanut butter? The recipe is simple and I use a food processor to thoroughly mix the ingredients. It makes it easier, but if you don’t have one you can use a blender or just mix with a whisk.
Once it’s been in the freezer for over an hour or two, you’ll need to throw it in the microwave for about 1 minute to soften it enough to eat. Enjoy your guilt-free treat!
