Dairy-Free Almond Butter Banana Nice Cream

Dairy-Free Almond Butter Banana Nice Cream makes for a delightful frozen treat on a warm summer day. With only 4 real food ingredients, it’s quick to make and ready to serve in 10 minutes or less!

Creamy, cool, naturally sweet and totally delicious!

Temperatures are climbing and cool treats are sure sounding good! This Dairy-Free Almond Butter Banana Nice Cream is absolutely perfect for summer. It’s made simple with frozen bananas, non-dairy milk, almond butter (or nut butter of choice) and pure vanilla extract. From there you can add any mix-ins and toppings to make it your own. I like to add mini chocolate chips, Paleo Granola or crumbled Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies. It reminds me of a lightened-up version of cookie dough ice cream, a favorite flavor of mine!

Below I show you just how easy it is to make Dairy-Free Almond Butter Banana Nice Cream!

Step 1: Add the frozen bananas and unsweetened non-dairy milk to a food processor (food processor works best). Process on low, turn off the processor and scrape sides as needed and mix up the bananas several times throughout this step. Process until bananas are creamy. This step works best if you take the bananas out of the freezer 10-15 minutes before making the nice cream. If you don’t have time, that’s OK too, you’ll just need to scrape the sides more often.

Step 2: Add the almond butter (or nut butter of choice) and vanilla extract to the food processor and process on low until mixed in.

Step 3: Add the mix-ins and pulse until evenly distributed.

Step 4: Enjoy right away as a soft-serve or transfer to a dish and place in the freezer for 5-6 hours or overnight for a scoop-friendly nice cream. The nice cream will become very hard so you’ll want to let it sit at least 30 minutes out of the freezer before scooping into a dish or a cone.

Endless mix-in and topping possibilities

Mix-in and topping ideas include:

• Granola of choice such as Paleo Granola 
• Crumble cookie of choice such as Paleo Almond Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies 
• Top with or mix in chopped nuts
• Swirl in or top with nut butter
• Top with a chocolate drizzle
• Top with banana slices
• Top with a non-dairy whipped topping
• Top with or mix in chopped fruit like cherries, raspberries or strawberries
• Serve on top of a paleo brownie.

I would love to hear what tasty mix-ins and toppings you add to this Almond Butter Banana Nice Cream! 

Almond Butter Banana Nice Cream is paleo-friendly, dairy-free and can be enjoyed immediately after making as a soft-serve ice cream or by the scoop if you let it harden in the freezer for several hours or overnight.

It’s time to give this cool and creamy Dairy-Free Almond Butter Banana Nice Cream a try!

Just think, in 10 minutes or less, you’ll have a healthy, frozen treat ready to be enjoyed.
