A light yet indulgent dessert combining creamy banana nice cream with fresh strawberries and crunchy cookies, perfect for Valentine’s Day or any cozy occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe bananas, peeled, sliced, and frozen
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk or any milk of choice
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon sugar or sweetener of choice
  • 6–8 cookies, crumbled (chocolate chip or shortbread recommended)
  • Optional garnishes: fresh mint leaves, dark chocolate shavings or drizzle

Instructions

  1. Slice ripe bananas into ½-inch thick pieces and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight until completely solid.
  2. In a small bowl, combine sliced strawberries with lemon juice and sugar. Toss gently and let sit for 15-20 minutes to macerate.
  3. Place frozen banana slices, vanilla extract, almond milk, and maple syrup (if using) into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend on high speed, scraping down the sides as needed, until smooth and creamy (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Check consistency: if too thick, add a splash more almond milk; if too soft, freeze for 10-15 minutes.
  5. Spoon the creamy nice cream into serving bowls. Top generously with macerated strawberries and crumbled cookies.
  6. Add optional garnishes such as fresh mint leaves or drizzle with melted dark chocolate.
  7. Serve immediately for best creamy texture. Store leftovers in a freezer-safe container and let soften for 10 minutes before scooping again.

Notes

Use ripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness and creaminess. Macerate strawberries with lemon juice and sugar to enhance flavor and texture. Scrape blender sides often for smooth texture. Serve immediately for best results or store leftovers up to 3 days in freezer.
