Thanks PoY, we’re loving the nice cream! “Burning Love” played on the radio when I made it earlier this week inspiring a sprinkle of bacon pieces 🙂

Friends.
Gather round now.
I am a lover of ice cream, and I am also, as of recently, a very obsessed lover of peanut butter cup nice cream. Wait, I take it back – FIVE INGREDIENT peanut butter cup nice cream. Is nice cream not the cutest name for this little cousin of everyone’s summer favorite? I scream, you scream, the whole internet including the non-vegans scream for NICE CREEEEAM!
You know how we just got back from a week up at the cabin?
Let me show you a picture of what we mostly did during our seven days at the lake:
There it is. Our beloved, our friendly-for-everyone, our creamy meets naturally sweet meets real food, our peanut butter cup loaded nice cream.
So, nice cream. So, super cute! So, what is it?
I like to think of it as ICE CREAM, but just a special kind of ice cream made for our friends who are either vegan or lactose intolerant or health conscious. It’s just NICE. Easy. Accessible. Friendly to all types of eaters, including everything-tarians like myself who occasionally go vegan for a minute.
When it comes to recipes I actually make, which is basically my mission statement for this blog — is this a recipe that people would actually make? — I am actually probably more likely to make nice cream than I am to make ice cream, even though I eat a lot of ice cream, but just because of how super simple it is to make nice cream. Dr. Suess Food Blog Mashup in the hizz-ouse.
Nice cream, er, well, MY version of nice cream, is made with literally just mostly bananas. Hard to argue with that, right?
Also you’re going to want to toss in a little splash of almond milk (bonus if it’s the new Almond Breeze Almondmilk Coconutmilk blend which is on point in the taste department) to keep things running smoothly in the blender, and then also a little bit of fat is necessary to keep it creamy, so I’d recommend some coconut oil whisked with some cocoa powder to make a sort of chocolate fudge situation that is next level legit.
Be sure to add a pinch of salt, because peanut butter cups? bananas? chocolate? what would this all be without a surprising little salty bite of contrast? And also, the peanut butter cups. I have a thing for chunks in my nice cream and I cannot be stopped when peanut butter cups get thrown into this mix.
TRY TO STOP, I dare you.
We blasted our way through so many peanut butter cup nice cream cones at the cabin this week, it was just borderline inappropriate. At any given moment, there was a 98% that I would have chocolate remnants on the corners of my mouth or dripped down the front of my shirt. Or white shorts. I mean, honestly, WHAT IS IT WITH THE WHITE SHORTS.
You know the moment after a big summer-y dinner consisting of mostly chips and garden salsa and little veggies and basil leaves wrapped in massive hunks of fresh mozzarella cheese, and maybe a few watermelon smoothies, and you’re sitting around and it feels like you should having some kind of treat but you’re actually so full of other good/bad food that you just don’t even know what part of the fridge/freezer to turn to?
You turn to this, that’s what you do.
Because just as a healthy, happy reminder: it’s mostly bananas. It might be overloaded with peanut butter cups too, but no. It’s mostly bananas, and it’s creamy, and it’s delicious, and it’s peanut butter cup NICE CREAM and we love it.
Dear Summer, YOU CAN STAY FOREVER.

POY has become a staple in our home. We seriously love 99% of the recipes! Unfortunately, this one was a little bit of a let down. Ice cream and I do not get along, so I was eager to give this a try. It looked so good, but the texture was very banana-centric and the taste cocoa forward, which left it lacking the sweetness ice cream offers. Would adding some kind of sweetener (beyond banana) help? The PB cups didn’t do the trick!

oh my god. i can not resist. icecream is always my favorite.
What a good idea, this looks so delicious!!
All I can say is WOW was this recipe a disaster. Maybe banana loving “friends” were in awe of this jaw-droppingly horrendous mistake but my cat child Mittens and I were not fans. Turns out bananas are the most disgusting fruit that god ever did create. The taste. The smell. Even the texture. Maybe the texture of the ice creams was like normal ice cream. Maybe, just maybe; but my tongue was going ZOWIE as I licked this “nice cream” that was anything but nice for my mouth. I’m sorry folks but it was a no go for this ice cream loving banana hater and her loving child with paws.
such a great recipe, I’m in love with peanut butter. thank youuu
thats very good site
So I just looked up chocolate peanut butter ice cream calories and this is by no means any less calories!! In some instances it’s more. I fail to see how this is healthy or nice cream in any sense of the imagination at nearly 250 calories a serving. I give it 2 starts because it sounds delicious but not nice-it’s naughty!!!
wow! looks really delicious. I absolutely will try this one. Thanks for sharing.
It was great, thank you

nice nice nice 🙂
My toddler LOVED IT and I feel comfortable with giving her this special treat.
We didn’t have peanut butter cups, so I added a large spoonful of natural peanut butter to the blender and mixed in mini chocolate chips before freezing.
Will be making this again in the future.
Sounds yummy! Glad to hear your little one enjoyed this treat, Catherine!
