Delicious, creamy, smooth, dairy-free, vegan, strawberry nice cream. Made with frozen bananas and strawberries - the perfect plant-based dessert!
Jump to:
This berry-filled ice cream is a great way to beat a sugar craving while enjoying the season's fresh strawberries. Nice cream is a vegan, dairy-free dessert made with fruit that tastes like ice cream! Typically, nice cream is made with frozen bananas in a blender. Then, you can add any of your favorite fruits and vegetables to flavor and color the treat.
Add a splash of dairy-free milk to create a smooth and creamy texture almost like soft-serve. I usually use maple syrup as a sweetener, but you can use dates or vanilla extract for a vegan option.

Can I Make Strawberry Nice Cream Ahead of Time?
Since it's a frozen meal made with fresh fruit, nice cream is best enjoyed right away. IT will melt, and doesn't always re-freeze nicely, so I don't recommend storing your nice cream.
