A vibrant, creamy, and guilt-free nice cream bowl blending frozen bananas with strawberries and raspberries, topped with nuts and dark chocolate. Perfect for a quick, vegan, and dairy-free Valentine’s Day treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large frozen bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • ½ cup frozen raspberries
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for extra creaminess)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
  • Handful of raw almonds, chopped and toasted
  • 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if needed)
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Fruit: Peel and slice 2 large bananas, then freeze them overnight or for at least 6 hours. Make sure strawberries and raspberries are frozen as well.
  2. Toast the Almonds: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast a handful of raw almonds for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and golden. Stir often to avoid burning. Set aside to cool.
  3. Blend the Base: In your high-speed blender or food processor, combine frozen bananas, frozen strawberries, frozen raspberries, ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and maple syrup if using. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed until smooth and creamy.
  4. Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too thick to blend, add almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time. If too thin, add a few more frozen banana slices.
  5. Assemble the Bowl: Spoon the nice cream into bowls. Sprinkle toasted almonds, dark chocolate chips, fresh strawberry slices, and chia seeds on top.
  6. Serve Immediately: Enjoy right away for the best creamy texture. If storing, place in an airtight container in the freezer and let soften for 5-10 minutes before eating.

Notes

Use ripe bananas frozen overnight for best creaminess. Toast nuts in advance for better flavor and crunch. Pulse blender initially to avoid overheating. Adjust liquid for desired texture. Nut-free option: substitute almonds with pumpkin seeds or coconut flakes.
