What is nice cream?

Nice cream is a blend of frozen fruit with the texture of ice cream.

Think of it like a super thick, scoopable smoothie. Since nice cream is a super thick smoothie you serve in a bowl, of course, I have lots of nice cream recipes in my book, Beautiful Smoothie Bowls.

How to Make Nice Cream

Making nice cream really couldn't be easier. All you need is a food processor or a high powered blender.

You can make nice cream with any combination of frozen fruits you like. I like to stick to an approximate ratio of 1 cup frozen fruit to 1 Tbsp liquid.

You can also make nice cream with a ratio of 1 cup frozen fruit to 1/4 cup(ish) of soft fruit.

How to Make Banana Berry Nice Cream
(AKA paleo ice cream)

Add the berries and banana to a food processor. Process until well combined. Resulting nice cream will be the texture of soft-serve ice cream.

For a firmer nice cream, transfer nice cream to a loaf pan and freeze for one hour.

Alternatively, you can create a firmer nice cream by adding only half of the banana. During processing, add pieces of the banana as needed to facilitate blending.
