    Berry Nicecream

    Updated: Jul 15, 2022 by Gustavo De Obaldia

    Written by Gustavo De Obaldia

    Ice cream is by far our favorite sweet option. There is a long-standing ice cream tradition in Argentina and Italy. Finding vegan options is not always easy, with most vegan and mainstream ice creams containing a lot of sugar and fat to make it tasty. This 10-minute homemade Berry Nicecream is the sweet deal for us!

    It was hard to find vegan ice creams until not so long ago. If you haven’t heard about nicecreams before, your time has come.

    🤔 What is Nicecream?

    Berries Nicecream

    A nicecream is nothing more than an ice cream-like sweet, made by replacing milk and cream with bananas. Yes! Just bananas!

    Bananas are super versatile and healthy; they can easily be incorporated in a smoothie, a smoothie bowl, a banana bread, or simply as a topping for our favorite morning granola or fruit bowl.

    Freezing bananas makes them very suitable to accomplish a silky texture that makes up for the creaminess we look for in ice cream.

    Berries Nicecream

    This Berry Nicecream is so simple and one of our favorites yet! It requires just 3 basic ingredients and a blender. For a more nutty flavor nicecream, try our Peanut Butter version.

    How about adding a scoop of this to our Vegan Cherry Pie ?

    Blend all the ingredients on a high-speed blender.

    Blend until the mixture looks smooth, adding a little plant milk if it gets stuck. Use a spatula if needed.

    💡 Tips

    When making this healthy berry ice cream:

    • Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
    • Peel and slice into slices. Large chunks may be challenging to blend.
    • Freeze in a single layer to prevent large clumps, serving on a lined parchment paper. That way, you prevent it from sticking to the pan.
    • We like eating our nicecreams freshly blended. Although, for “ice cream-like” texture vs. soft, spread into a loaf pan and freeze for two to three hours. Then scoop with an ice cream scoop! If too firm, let thaw for 15-25 minutes to soften.
    • If you have trouble blending, let the banana thaw for a couple of minutes, allowing it to soften and become easier to blend. Alternatively, you could add one tablespoon at a time of plant milk to facilitate blending. Be careful with this method, as it may lead to getting runny banana ice cream.

    The result is the perfect creamy, berry-flavored ice cream.

    ❓ FAQ

    How long do frozen blueberries last?

    When it comes to frozen blueberries, they can last a long time as long as you store them properly. If stored in airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags, the quality of frozen blueberries will remain good for up to 12 months. It is important to remember not to overload your containers when freezing – adding too much space can decrease the berries’ lifespan drastically and make them more prone to freezer burn.
    When thawing frozen blueberries, ensure you don’t leave them at room temperature for too long; any bacteria present may increase in number and cause food poisoning if eaten raw. The best way is to cook or bake with them immediately after taking them out of the freezer.

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 3 bananas medium, frozen
    • 1 cup mixed berries frozen

    Optional:

    • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
    • 1-5 tablespoons plant-milk if your blender struggles (see almond milk recipe)
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Directions
     

    • Freeze the bananas overnight. We always have at least 3 peeled, frozen bananas in the freezer to fix a quick nicecream in minutes.
    • Blend all the ingredients on a high-speed blender dial to its lowest setting and then switch to high. You might need to stop the motor momentarily a couple of times and/or add a tablespoon of plant milk at a time to facilitate blending.
    • Once it’s started blending, use the tamper to press down and stir berries and bananas. They should turn into soft-serve texture banana ice cream.
    • Serve immediately.
