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.
