Ingredients :

• 4 large sliced and frozen bananas (about 4 cups pieces)

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 tbsp plain milk, either dairy or nondairy

Chocolate variation

• 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Peanut butter variation

• 1/4 cup peanut butter

• 2 tablespoons honey

Caramel pecan swirl variation

• 1/2 cup caramel sauce

• 4 tablespoons chopped toasted pecans

Strawberry variation

• 1 cup frozen strawberries

• 2 tablespoons honey

Chocolate chip variation

• 3 ounces dark chocolate, melted

STEPS :

Basic Nice Cream

     1. Freeze the bananas :

Peel and slice the bananas thinly (approximately 1/4 inch thick) and spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet 24 hours before serving. Freeze until completely solid. Transfer to a zip-top bag if not using that day.

     2. Make the nice cream :

• Blender technique

Fill the blender container halfway with milk and vanilla extract, then add the frozen banana slices. Remove the plug from the blender lid, secure it, and then insert the tamper (if using). Blend with the lid on, starting on low and gradually increasing to high. Scrape down and repeat until the puree is smooth.

• Method using a food processor

In a food processor bowl, combine the frozen sliced bananas and pulse until the banana is broken down into small parts. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the vanilla and almond milk and process until smooth, stopping to scrape down to ensure all of the particles are included.

     3. Serve :

Transfer to serving dishes or a storage tub to freeze as soon as there are no lumps. If the puree is too soft, freeze for 30 minutes to 1 hour and stir. 

If you freeze the lovely cream until solid, let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour before serving to soften.

• Nice Cream Variations :

Chocolate lovely cream: Process the cocoa, vanilla, and milk together.

• Peanut butter :

Combine the peanut butter and honey with the bananas and continue.

• Caramel Pecan :

Make basic lovely cream and transfer to bowls or a storage tub, then drizzle with caramel and sprinkle with nuts before gently swirling. Serve immediately or freeze.

• Strawberry :

Combine the strawberries and honey with the bananas and continue.

When the cream is creamy, add the melting chocolate and mix until combined. The chocolate will harden and harden into "chips." Serve immediately or freeze.
