Servings: 2

Banana Nice Cream
- 1-2 very ripe bananas optionally sliced and frozen (about 1 cup)
Macerated Berries
- 2 cups fresh berries such as blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, or a combination (about 1 pound)
- 2 Tbsp liquid such as apple juice, reduced balsamic vinegar, lime juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, or even water
Roast the sweet potatoes at 400°F in your oven for an hour (or longer, depending on their size), until tender.
Cool and then refrigerate overnight.
Cut in half and air fry at 400°F for 20 minutes.
Top with your favorite nice cream or Macerated Berries or both!
To make Banana Nice Cream, refer to the instructions based on your appliance of choice:
- CHAMPION JUICER: Insert the blank for the juicer, turn the appliance on, and push the whole frozen bananas (no need to slice in advance) through the chamber.
- NINJA CREAMI: Mash ripe bananas and place in the Ninja Creamy pint up to fill line, making sure the top is smooth and level. Cover the pint and freeze, upright and level, for 24 hours before spinning on “light ice cream” setting. Re-spin if necessary.
- HIGH-SPEED BLENDER: With this type of appliance, it’s best to use bananas that have been sliced before freezing. Place the desired amount in your blender container and add enough liquid (unsweetened fruit juice or plant milk) to process.
- FOOD PROCESSOR FITTED WITH THE “S” BLADE: Same directions as
the high powered blender, except that you don’t need to add any liquid.
There are many other appliances specifically designed to make nice creams, such as the Dessert Bullet and Yonanas. I don’t have experience with all of these appliances, so I always say get the biggest and best you can afford. In my experience, the Champion juicer and the Ninja Creami are unparalleled for both taste and texture.
