It’s August, which means we are right in the thick of summer 🔥🔥
Aside from sun burns and global warming 😩 down here in South Texas we find relief from the blazin’ hot sun on the beaches of South Padre Island, eating some tasty raspas 🍧 or indulging in locally grown watermelons. One of my other favorite go-to treats during warm weather days is banana nice cream. Actually, it’s usually a staple in my diet year round, but I particularly crave it right about this time of year. When I saw some juicy plums at the grocery store a couple of weeks back, I grabbed a few, figuring I’d find something to do with them. I wondered if adding them to nice cream would be weird or wonderful, so I did some googling and discovered it’s definitely doable!
Plum Banana Nice Cream is basically the easiest recipe in the world, so give it a try. It’s creamy and sweet, but kinda tart, and you can add whatever creative toppings you like. Best part is, you get 3 servings of raw fruit with one bowl of nice cream, and it tastes like dessert!

Ingredients You Will Need:
- 2 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced, frozen overnight
- 1-2 small, ripe plums (dice and freeze half, save other half for topping)
- non-dairy milk (as needed)
- toppings of choice (shredded coconut, dried mulberries, fresh fruit, nuts, etc)
Steps You Take:
- Put your frozen banana slices and frozen plum in a food processor or blender. If you’re using a food processor you probably won’t need to add any liquid. If you’re using a blender you’ll probably have to add a few splashes of non-dairy milk to get everything well blended, but be careful not to add too much otherwise it will lose the ice cream consistency.
- Blend until ingredients become thick and creamy. This will take a couple of minutes and you will need to stop and scrape down the sides occasionally.
- Transfer to bowl, add some diced plum (or make a plum compote!) and other desired toppings. Enjoy!

Pretty simple, right? I especially like to make nice cream before and after workouts or being outdoors, because it gives me the perfect amount of energy. But it’s great for breakfast, a snack, or dessert. What’s your favorite kind of nice cream? 🍨
