Ingredients needed for this delicious nice cream recipe
- Avocado – Packed with healthy fats and having a creamy texture, avocado is the perfect base for our delicious nice cream recipe.
- Raspberries (frozen) – For best results use frozen raspberries but fresh raspberries are great as well, while they aren’t as refreshing as frozen kind. Make sure the raspberries aren’t too sour and you’ll be fine.
- Banana – Together with avocado, banana will make this nice cream soft and creamy, and so nice to eat.
- Beetroot – A bit strange, I know! Beets are loaded with “good-for-you” nutrients, including fiber, enzymes and phytonutrients (where that red color actually comes from).
- Cacao Beans – Use them for a subtle flavor and a boost of antioxidants (less is more here).
- Fennel Seeds – These fennel seeds have an intense flavor and they add a subtle sweet-ish flavor, unexpected and very pleasant in the same time.
Avocado and Banana is one of those classic combos that you’ll find in many of my smoothie recipes, nice creams and even my homemade ice cream recipes. Avocado and banana is the magic combo for all vegan raw blends.
Berries and avocado form another delicious little combo that is guaranteed to produce perfectly creamy smoothies or nice creams every time. And I mean every time!
So you can see now how combining all these 3 ingredients together (avocado, banana, berries) is the recipe for a perfect nice cream.
Steps to make Banana Raspberries Beet Nice Cream
Now that we have this magic combo on our side, what happens if we add beetroot to the mix? Let me tell you …. we’ll end-up with a very rich, perfectly creamy and super healthy beet powered nice cream. Tastes amazing!
Besides all these wonderful ingredients, you’ll need a regular blender to make this nice cream.
Follow these steps to make this vegan nice cream recipe:
- Add all the ingredients into the blender (except for cacao beans and fennel seeds).
- Blend until you obtain a creamy consistency.
- Pour in glasses and decorate with chopped cacao beans and fennel seeds.
- DONE!
Too easy, right? This is exactly what my wife said to me the first time I came up with this recipe. For obtaining a super creamy texture it’s advisable to use a high speed blender, but it isn’t mandatory (you’ll be fine with a regular blender as well).
Once your nice cream is ready, simply pour into a tall glass and decorate with your favorite toppings.
When it comes to toppings, I used fennel seeds and chopped cacao nibs, but you can use whatever you like. Check-out a few ideas for toppings:
- cinnamon powder
- vanilla powder
- cashew nuts
- walnuts
- sunflower seeds
- hemp seeds
- dark chocolate
- homemade chocolate sauce
- blueberries (or other berries)
- banana slices
- raisins
- chopped figs

Tips for making perfect vegan nice cream
- Don’t have raspberries? It’s ok! – You can easily replace them with any kind of berries. Once you’ll do this though, the overall color of your nice cream will most likely change to reflect the color of the new type of berries.
- Fresh or Frozen berries – You can use fresh or frozen raspberries, I used frozen raspberries since I already had them in my freezer. Another reason to use frozen berries is that they will make for a more refreshing nice cream.
- Ways to make it sweeter – Note that frozen raspberries can sometimes be a bit sour but this can easily be compensated by using sweeter bananas or adding 1-2 medjool dates to the mix.
- You don’t need a “fancy” Blender – For the best creamy texture you’ll definitely need a high-speed blender. You certainly don’t need the most expensive blender on the market, just a blender that can go over 10,000 rpms, or with a motor of at least 800 Watts.
