Strawberry Chocolate Chip Nicecream

Summer and Strawberry season has arrived! Here is a perfect recipe that combines both those seasons!! 


What started as me making my chocolate peanut butter Nicecream, shifted quickly to this creation thanks to being out of some key ingredients! And I can’t say I am mad about it! I snuck in a veggie cause, why not?! And because I have a three year old who is currently refusing all veggies except cucumbers, so I am sneaking in that veg everywhere I can! 

Strawberry Chocolate Chip Nicecream


slice and freeze two bananas for a couple hoursonce frozen, add to your food processor with:

 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries 

(optiona) 1 cup frozen cauliflower  

  • Mix in your food processor, stopping to scrape the sides every couple minutes. I added a coupleTbs of almond milk – would not recommend if you using fresh strawberries, only frozen! But don’t add too much, as the bananas melt and break down you’ll start to see that thick, creamy texture. 
  • Chop a couple squares of dark chocolate and pulse to mix. 
  • Place in a pan lined with parchment paper and sprinkle top with another square or two of dark chocolate. 
  • Place in freezer for an hour.

Serve and Enjoy!!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Nicecream

The love for ice cream runs REAL deep! But unfortunately my tummy doesn’t always feel the love!! This is my go to when the ice cream craving strikes! Combining my love of ice cream & my love for the peanut butter/chocolate combo!! 

  • Slice 3 peeled bananas. Lay flat on parchment paper and place in freezer until frozen – approx 2 hrs. 
  • In a food processor add: 
    the 3 sliced frozen bananas & 1 tbs peanut butter 
  • Mix, stripping to scrape the sides every minute or so. It will be choppy & thick! You’ll be tempted to add liquid, but don’t!! As the bananas melt they will start to get creamy!! 
  • Once 95% smooth, add: 1-2 tbs cocoa powder 
  • Continue to mix until smooth & mixed. Chop 1/4 of a 85% chocolate bar into chunks. Add & pulse to  mix! 
  • Scrape into a loaf pan lined with parchment. Sprinkle some dark chocolate chunks on top & place in freezer for an hour. Serve & enjoy!!!
