Salted Caramel Nice Cream with Hot Cacao Sauce

Sophie Benbow SOPHIE BENBOW

If you haven’t experienced the joy of nice-cream you are missing out! Even if you are not dairy-free this frozen delight is so easy to make and has no refined sugar so you would be mad not to give it a try. All you need is frozen bananas to make nice cream, literally that is it! So feel free to adapt this recipe and instead of my extra ingredients you could use frozen berries, nuts, dried fruit, matcha, cinnamon, frozen mango, coconut (the list is endless!)

I like this combination when I am really craving something naughty but don’t want to overload my body with unnatural sweeteners and still keep it relatively healthy! You could omit the chocolate sauce and half the syrup and eat it for breakfast with some fresh fruit and coconut and have no guilt whatsoever!

  3. Place the rest of your ingredients for your nice cream into a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth.
