This Chocolate Banana Nice Cream is a healthy and vegan version of ice cream only that only requires two simple ingredients, and is unbelievably delicious.

If you are not familiar with Nice Cream, it is a wonderful version of ice cream that is sugar-free, dairy-free, and healthy! This Chocolate Banana Nice Cream is made from frozen bananas and cocoa powder. I promise that you will be blown away by how creamy, flavorful, and decadent this vegan frozen dessert is.

This frozen treat is naturally sweetened from the natural sugars in bananas. Bananas are a healthy and delicious sweetener that have tons of health benefits! Cocoa powder is another key ingredient that is also packed with nutritional value. These two simple ingredients make this recipe the perfect healthy snack or dessert.

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!
