Vegan tropical nice cream is sweet, creamy, and will transport you to your favorite tropical beach. Made with just 4 healthy ingredients, gluten free, and fruit sweetened!
Ahhh nice cream. Solving all of life’s problems, specifically when you want to feel like you’re in the tropics, but can’t/shouldn’t actually go there.
This vegan tropical nice cream highlights all your favorite beachy, tropical flavors – banana, mango, coconut, and kiwi. Actually, is kiwi even a tropical flavor? I don’t know, but I do know it has a lovely green color, so right there on top it goes.
Ingredients for vegan tropical nice cream
- Frozen banana: banana gives the nice cream sweetness and super rich and creamy texture.
- Frozen mango: mango adds more creaminess and super sweet, tropical flavor.
- Nondairy milk: milk (or water) helps the nice cream to blend together.
- Toppings: shredded unsweetened coconut gives great chewy texture (and toasting it gives sooo much flavor!). You can also add any other fruit you like.
Tips for making vegan tropical nice cream
- Freeze your bananas when they’re super ripe. Always wait to freeze bananas until they’re super ripe and spotty. This is when they have the most sweetness and banana flavor.
- Add as little liquid as possible. I start with just 1/4 cup of water, then add little by little just to help the blender get things going. The less liquid you add, the thicker and more ice cream-like it will be.
This vegan tropical nice cream is seriously a summertime dream. It’s sweet, rich, and SO thick and creamy. Plus, the combo of creamy nice cream and chewy texture of the coconut along with fresh fruit on top is irresistible!
