Craving ice cream but want to stay healthy? Try nice cream — a cool, creamy treat made with frozen fruit instead of dairy and sugar. It’s perfect for anyone following a vegan lifestyle, avoiding added sugar, or simply looking for a guilt-free dessert. This frozen fruit blend feels just like soft-serve and can be made in minutes with simple ingredients from your kitchen.
Nice cream is a plant-based alternative to traditional ice cream. It skips cream, refined sugar, and preservatives but still gives you that rich, creamy texture. The secret ingredient? Bananas. Frozen ripe bananas blend into a smooth base that’s naturally sweet and satisfying. If bananas aren’t your favorite, other fruits like mango, peach, cherries, and cantaloupe also work well and give the same soft and scoopable result.
Making nice cream is easy. Start with ripe bananas — the more ripe, the sweeter your dessert will be. Peel them, freeze them until firm, then blend them in a food processor or blender. You can add a splash of coconut milk for extra creaminess. Eat it right away for a soft-serve texture, or freeze it again for a scoop-style dessert.

Want to mix it up? Add a flavor twist with cocoa powder, nut butters, vanilla, cinnamon, or even a hint of rose water. Toppings like chopped nuts, dark chocolate chips, fresh berries, or mint leaves make your bowl even more fun and tasty.
Nice cream is different from sorbet. Sorbet usually contains added sugar and has an icy texture. Nice cream is naturally creamy and doesn’t need any sugar. It’s lighter, cleaner, and made from real fruit.
Skip the store-bought ice cream with long ingredient lists and extra calories. With just a blender and frozen fruit, you can make your own sweet and healthy dessert at home anytime. It’s the ideal summer treat that keeps you cool and feeling great.
