A creamy, fruity, and refreshing nice cream bowl inspired by mocktail flavors, perfect for cozy date nights or sharing with friends. This easy recipe blends frozen bananas, strawberries, and a coconut milk base with sparkling water for a light, indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large frozen bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries, hulled
  • 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup chilled sparkling water
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Peel and slice 2 large bananas, then measure out 1 cup of frozen strawberries. Ensure the fruit is fully frozen for creamy texture.
  2. Blend the Base: Add frozen bananas and strawberries to a high-speed blender or food processor. Pour in 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk and 1/4 cup chilled sparkling water. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until smooth, pulsing and scraping sides if needed.
  3. Add Sweetness and Flavor: Pour in 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice. Blend again for 30 seconds until combined.
  4. Optional Boost: Stir in 1 tablespoon chia seeds by hand and let sit for 5 minutes to allow chia seeds to plump.
  5. Serve: Spoon the nice cream into bowls and add toppings like fresh strawberry slices, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
  6. Enjoy Immediately: Best served right away for soft-serve texture. For firmer texture, freeze for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Notes

Freeze bananas and strawberries fully for best creamy texture. Use chilled sparkling water to keep the blend light and refreshing. Pulse blending if your blender is not powerful to avoid overheating. Adjust maple syrup to taste depending on fruit sweetness. Serve immediately for soft-serve texture or freeze briefly for firmer consistency. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 days; thaw and re-blend before serving.
