    3 Ingredient Vanilla Bean Nice Cream

    Jump to Recipe Pin Recipe Print Recipe

    No it's not a typo. Nice cream is a thing. You've heard of it right? It's a creamy, luscious dessert made with frozen bananas that's surprisingly just as satisfying as regular ice cream.

    I've been wanting to whip up a batch for a long time and never got around to it.  It's such a shame because I can't tell you how many over ripe bananas I've needlessly tossed and could've used to make this perfect little treat.

    For this recipe you'll need only 3 ingredients:

    Frozen bananas,

    any plant-based milk you prefer,

    and a vanilla bean pod.

    Yes, I'm a sucker for vanilla, especially vanilla beans (ahhhhh!).  If you don't have vanilla bean pods, vanilla flavored milk or a half teaspoon of vanilla extract would work fine as well.  

    Required kitchen appliance:

    High powered blender.

    When to enjoy this treat:

    It's perfect on a hot summer day,

    after a sweaty workout to help replace electrolytes,

    or whenever you want because.... it's NICE CREAM!

    Enjoy your weekend and stay safe out there! xoxo

        Yes, it does have a banana flavor. But less than you'd expect, probably because it is served cold.
