Caramel Nice Cream
Caramel Nice Cream is sweet and decadent! This recipe is made with only four simple ingredients, and it takes about 15 minutes to prepare. It's the perfect summer dessert for anyone who is dairy-free or vegan!
Equipment
- Food Processor or Blender
Ingredients
- 4 Cups Frozen Bananas The less ripe, the better!
- 5 Medjool Dates Pitted and soaked in water.
- 1+½ Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- ¼ Teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Start by pitting the Medjool Dates. Add the dates into a small bowl and fill with filtered water. Let them soak for 10-15 minutes. (Drain water when they're done!)
- In a blender or food processor add dates, frozen bananas, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend on a low setting, stirring every 15 seconds. Add a few tablespoons of coconut milk if you have trouble with blending!
- Once the mixture is smooth and creamy, transfer into 4 small cups. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes to set. Enjoy!
Notes
Expert Tips
- I like to leave the frozen bananas out on the counter for a few minutes before adding it into the blender or food processor! This helps to speed up the blending process.
- Cut the bananas into small discs so they blend easier! (Cut before freezing.)
- If the mixture is looking too soft, just throw in a few extra frozen banana chunks! It should thicken right up!
- If you use a blender, blend on a very low speed. Gradually increase speed as it blends.
- Don't worry if you still see small chunks of dates in the nice cream! If it's not perfectly blended, it still tastes amazing. (I actually prefer it with some chunks.)
