I love a sweet frozen treat when it’s hot outside. I also love when that sweet treat doesn’t require any cooking and very little freeze time. And that’s why I’m sharing Banana Berry ‘Nice’ Cream with you today! Because it’s all of those things, and it’s been really, really hot outside.

If you haven’t heard of ‘nice’ cream, it’s a riff off traditional ice cream, but has no cream or added sugar or egg yolks. It’s just a frozen banana, a few cups of your favorite frozen fruit, a little bit of canned coconut milk solids (and a little honey, a pinch of salt and lemon juice, if you want) whirled together in a food processor or blender until smooth and creamy.

It requires no cooking or churning or much effort at all, really, and I love that about it when it’s super hot outside.

P.S. here are a few of my favorite fruit combos:

Dark sweet cherries + peaches
Mango + raspberries
Strawberries + pineapple

What fruity mix will you try in your ‘nice’ cream?
