Creamy Mango Banana Nice Cream for a Healthy Dessert


This creamy mango banana nice cream is everything you want in a light, refreshing dessert. It’s made with just three simple ingredients, ripe bananas, frozen mango chunks, and a splash of coconut water.

The blend comes together beautifully into a soft, tropical treat that’s perfect for hot days.

To start, freeze your bananas until they’re firm and ready to blend. Toss the frozen bananas and mango into a food processor, adding a little coconut water to keep things smooth.

In just a few minutes, you’ll have a thick, creamy nice cream that’s naturally sweet and packed with fruity flavors.

For some added crunch, sprinkle toasted coconut on top. You can enjoy it soft-serve style right away, or freeze it a little longer for a firmer scoop.

It’s light, refreshing, and absolutely guilt-free, perfect for when you need something sweet but still want to keep things simple and healthy.

Tips and Tricks

Freezing Bananas

For the best texture, peel and slice your bananas before freezing. This makes them easier to blend and results in a smoother nice cream.

Blending Consistency

If your mixture is too thick to blend, add a little more coconut water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency. This helps keep the nice cream creamy without being too runny.

Serving Options

For a firmer texture, freeze the nice cream for about two hours before serving. If you prefer a soft-serve texture, enjoy it immediately after blending.

Flavor Variations

Feel free to experiment with different frozen fruits. Strawberries, blueberries, or pineapple can be great additions or substitutions to create new flavors.

Extra Toppings

Top your nice cream with toasted sweetened coconut, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey for added flavor and texture. This can make your dessert even more enjoyable.
