Prep time, Cook time, Servings
Prep time: 5 minutes (plus freezing time for bananas)
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients
The Nice Cream Base
2 large bananas, sliced and frozen solid
3 to 4Â fresh kiwis, frozen peeled and slicedÂ
Optional: 1–2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt or a splash of almond milk (only if your blender needs a little help spinning!)
The Toppings
A drizzle of honey or maple syrup
Flaked almonds (amandes effilées)
Crushed pistachios (for that gorgeous green color and crunch)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Fruit
Make sure your bananas are completely frozen before starting (chopping them into rounds before freezing makes blending much easier!). Peel and slice your fresh kiwi.
2. Blend to Soft-Serve Perfection
Add the frozen banana slices and fresh kiwi to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend on high. At first, it will look crumbly—just keep blending and scraping down the sides as needed. Within a minute or two, it will magically transform into a silky smooth, thick soft-serve texture.
3. Scoop and Layer
Using an ice cream scoop, portion the vibrant green nice cream into your serving bowls or glasses.
4. Add the Crunchy Finish
Drizzle a golden thread of honey right over the top of the scoops. Finish with a generous scatter of flaked almonds and crushed pistachios for the perfect texture contrast. Serve immediately while it's perfectly chilled!
