Tips for making perfect Nice Cream
Making Nice Cream is extremely easy and versatile, but I have a few helpful tips to get you started:
Make sure you thinly slice your bananas before placing them in the freezer. Thinner slices will make it easier for your food processor to blend them into creamy nice cream! Overripe bananas work best for this recipe to ensure that your nice cream is extra sweet.
Once your bananas have been frozen, it can be helpful to allow them to thaw on the counter for a few minutes before blending them. This will be useful if your food processor or blender is having trouble blending your bananas. Another option to help your bananas blend easier is to add 2-3 tablespoons of dairy-free milk to your mixture.
This recipe is extremely versatile! Feel free to add in chocolate chips, peanut butter, or shredded coconut!
