Almond Butter Lemon Zest Nice Cream
The Ingredients
This recipe requires just three simple ingredients. Yes, you read that right—three! It’s practically sorcery.
- 3 Ripe Bananas
These are the backbone of your nice cream. The riper, the better. We’re talking those slightly speckled bananas sitting on your counter that you’ve been pretending not to notice. They’re at their peak sweetness and ready to shine. - 2 Tablespoons of Almond Butter
Creamy, nutty, and oh-so-satisfying, almond butter adds a luxurious texture and a subtle nuttiness that makes this nice cream feel decadent without being over the top. - Zest of 1 Lemon
Ah, lemon zest—the secret weapon. It’s like adding a ray of sunshine to your dessert. The citrusy zing cuts through the sweetness of the bananas and gives this nice cream a refreshing twist that’ll have you coming back for seconds (or thirds, no judgment here).
The Method
Are you ready for the easiest recipe of your life? Buckle up—it’s about to get ridiculously simple.
- Freeze Your Bananas
Slice those ripe bananas into coins and pop them in the freezer. Let them chill for at least 2 hours or until they’re frozen solid. This is the foundation of your nice cream, so don’t skip this step unless you want banana mush (and trust me, you don’t). - Blend Like You Mean It
Toss your frozen banana slices into a blender or food processor. Add the almond butter and lemon zest. Now, blend. And blend. And blend some more. At first, it’ll look like a crumbly mess, but keep going! Scrape down the sides as needed, and soon enough, it’ll transform into a silky-smooth, ice-cream-like consistency. It’s basically kitchen magic. - Serve It Up
Scoop your nice cream into coconut bowls for that extra Instagram-worthy touch. Not only do they make your dessert look like it belongs on a tropical island, but they’re also eco-friendly. Win-win! - Optional Garnishes
Feeling fancy? Top your nice cream with a sprinkle of extra lemon zest, a drizzle of almond butter, or even some shredded coconut for added flair. You’re the boss of this dessert—go wild!
Why You’ll Love It
This Almond Butter Lemon Zest Nice Cream isn’t just delicious; it’s also good for you! Bananas are packed with potassium and natural sweetness, almond butter brings healthy fats and protein to the party, and lemon zest adds a dose of vitamin C with zero effort. It’s dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly, making it the ultimate crowd-pleaser for any occasion—or just a Tuesday night when you need a pick-me-up.
Pro Tips for Nice Cream Success
- Invest in a Good Blender: A high-powered blender or food processor is your best friend here. If yours isn’t super strong, let the bananas thaw for a couple of minutes before blending to make things easier.
- Double the Batch: Trust me, one serving is never enough. Make extra and store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week (if it lasts that long). Just let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping—it’ll soften up beautifully.
- Experiment with Flavors: This recipe is endlessly customizable! Swap almond butter for peanut butter, add a splash of vanilla extract, or throw in some dark chocolate chips for a little extra indulgence.
