Summer is the time to indulge in everything cooling, refreshing and of course healthy and delicious! My go-to treat is always a fresh juice or any of my favorite ice creams, especially chocolate ice cream! But with all the calories and fat in them, I have to limit myself to a small bowl of it! With gorgeous pictures and flavors of ‘nice’ cream exploding all over the internet, my sweet tooth had to try it and was totally satiated as this is totally guilt free and full of everything that is good for me!
NOW, WHAT IS “NICE” CREAM?
Nice cream is nothing but ice cream made with bananas instead of milk or cream! I know, you are going to say ‘bleh’! But wait! I guarantee you that one spoon of this creamy ice cream with only bananas or with other fruits or even chocolate or peanut butter will floor you right away; I know I was. My first taste of this was when I tried my 2-Ingredient Strawberry Ice Cream or “nice” cream with ripe bananas and strawberries! My whole family loved every bite of it! Basically, frozen bananas are blended in a high-speed blender or food processor (with other fruits; also frozen) and ends up being a smooth, creamy, no-sugar treat which has the exact consistency of soft ice cream; like whipped frozen custard! I would say it has the richness of ice cream and fruitiness of any fruit sorbet!
No ice cream maker needed here; just a food processor or high-speed blender which can take processing frozen foods without burning up the machine! As soon as it reaches its creamy, frozen gorgeousness, eat it right away for the best flavor and texture! Freeze the fruity mixture for a longer time if you like it slightly firm. I like it freshly made; makes for a creamy, smooth and fresh nice cream! Add any frozen fruit like mangoes or strawberries and for the chocolate lovers, stir in cocoa powder or melted chocolate!
If the fruits are not too sweet, feel free to stir in any of your favorite sweetener; sugar, honey, maple syrup etc.! Have fun using different flavors with frozen bananas and have a blast indulging in sugar free “nice cream”. Love my Mango “Nice” Cream! I am sure you will too!

PIN or SHARE here:
1 large fully ripe banana, peeled and sliced 2 large or 3 medium sized fully ripe sweet mangoes, peeled and cut into ½ inch cubes OPTIONAL ADD INS: Any sweetener like sugar, Stevia, Splenda, honey, maple syrup etc.( if the mangoes are not too sweet)
Instructions Notes If the mangoes are very sweet, there is no need to add any sweetener, making it sugar free and great dessert for diabetics! If needed, you can add a dash of milk, cream or coconut milk to increase the creaminess. Instead of mangoes, you can use melted chocolate, peanut butter, strawberries, blueberries etc. I am sharing this with my gourmet Facebook group “Healthy Wellthy Cuisines” where the theme this time is “Mangoes”!
