Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, sliced and frozen
  • 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped

Directions

  1. In a food processor or high-speed blender, add the frozen banana slices, fresh strawberries, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  3. Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  4. Cover the pan or container and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until the Nice Cream is firm.
  5. To serve, let the Nice Cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls or cones and garnish with fresh strawberries, sliced almonds, or coconut flakes, if desired.
  6. Enjoy the creamy and refreshing Strawberry Vegan Nice Cream!
