02 -
  • Nice cream is best enjoyed fresh, as it hardens after prolonged freezing
  • If storing in the freezer for later, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to soften
  • Use a powerful food processor or blender to achieve the creamiest texture
  • Always use bananas with brown spots for the sweetest flavor
  • The almond milk should be added gradually - too much will make the nice cream runny
