Strawberry-Banana Nice Cream

Creamy, fruity, and healthy, too! Nice cream doesn't contain added sugar or dairy products, meaning it's suitable for a variety of diets. It's also the perfect refreshment on a warm day!

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 4 bananas, cut into chunks and frozen
  • 2 tbsp almond butter
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract


Instructions:

  1. Add the bananas and almond butter to a blender or food processor, and mix until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the strawberries and vanilla extract, and pulse until combined but with small chunks of strawberries leftover. Transfer the nice cream to an airtight container and freeze for 30 min. or up to 2 hours. Let stand for 15-20 min. before serving, to let it soften up slightly.
  3. Enjoy!

VIDEO: Chocolate Strawberry Braid

All you need is 3 main ingredients to make this Chocolate Strawberry Braid for dessert tonight!

Ingredients

  • 7-9 medium-sized strawberries
  • 1 puff pastry
  • 1 chocolate bar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • Almond slivers
  • Powdered sugar

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Cut the strawberries into halves.
  3. Dust some flour on a flat surface and spread your puff pastry out on top, smoothing it into a rectangle shape if necessary.
  4. Place the bar of chocolate in the center, then top with a layer of strawberry halves.
  5. Using a pizza cutter or a knife, slice the edges of the puff pastry into strips that can be wrapped over the chocolate and strawberries. Starting with the flap at the top, fold over each strip in a slightly diagonal direction so that they resemble a braid.
  6. Brush the braid with a beaten egg yolk so that it covers the entire visible surface.
  7. Sprinkle almond slivers on top.
  8. Bake for 20-22 minutes.
  9. Give the braid a few minutes to cool down, then cover with a dusting of powdered sugar.
  10. Serve and enjoy!
