This vegan gluten free unicorn nice cream is an all natural healthy dessert made with no sugar added that will bring out your inner child.
Since the unicorn fad has yet to go out of style, I decided to make the most of it by channeling my inner unicorn and share with you guys one of my fav all natural and super healthy vegan nice cream recipes.
This recipe was also developed at the perfect time, because here in Toronto, we’ve been celebrating Pride for the past week and beautiful colours have been pinned up throughout the city! Even though the Pride Parade in Toronto was yesterday, here at Abbey’s Kitchen, everyday is pride day, so why not celebrate with this colourful vegan unicorn nice cream.
I’ve been really into nice cream because it’s so EASY to prepare and completely natural. No added preservatives or artificial colouring. The REAL DEAL. And if you can already tell, it looks super pretty.
How to Make Vegan Unicorn Nice Cream.
My vegan unicorn nice cream recipe uses whatever leftover frozen fruit you have on hand and tastes completely amazing! I’m pretty positive you guys got some bananas sitting in your fridge, so now’s the time to pull em out and make this nice cream!
In this vegan unicorn nice cream, I use five different colours, because the more colours the better, right?! Now, listen carefully, this is all you have to do. Puree your choice of fruit with bananas and once you have all your colours, scoop them into a deep rectangular pan. Make sure to overlap the different colours so when you scoop them out later, you get little bundles of rainbow joy.
This vegan unicorn nice cream requires no fancy ice cream machine, or artificial colourings that you can’t pronounce, just plain old simple pureed delicious fruit. Enough talk, let’s dig in!
Now I want to hear from you!

I love that unicorn foods are a trend 😉 My son would totally love this. I’m going to make it for him over the weekend!
Deborah @ Confessions of a mother runner says
That is a fun summer recipe and way healthier than the traditional version.
Farrah says
I love the idea of this, and yay for the fun colors! I think my current blender may be running on the last dredges of its life at the moment so…probably time for a new one (sigh)–can’t wait to try this out soon!
Stacey Mattinson says
Super cute! Love this for a refreshing, summer treat!

This is great! I’ve never even seen this little contraption! Thanks for the post!
Abbey Sharp says
Thanks Lindsey!
Karen G says
Oh my goodness, those are adorable! “Almost” too cute to eat! ????????
Abbey Sharp says
haha yes! But sooo delicious
Jill Conyers says
I love making chia jam. I need to figure out which gf flour will work well for this recipe.
Abbey Sharp says
Yes! I’m sure most will!
Stacey Hill says
I am an RD as well. I agree with you. The low carb diet is not sustainable long term. We have to ask our clients, what’s is your goal. I’m sure they would say to lose weight, but to keep it off. This does not support the second goal of keeping it off. Great article!
Abbey Sharp says
Hey Stacey, exactly! Maintenance is the hardest part!
Esther says
Abby those look so fantastic! I will have to make some when I’m home in my kitchen!
Abbey Sharp says
Yes! Great plan Esther!
Sarah Remmer says
Wow my kids would LOVE these! Thanks for sharing Abbey!
Christina Bauer says
These look incredible! I need to learn more about this air fryer….I could see myself using it A LOT. And, I used to love the S’more’s pop tarts as a kid – because why not start your day with a sugar bomb of chocolate and icing? 🙂
Abbey Sharp says
omg yes. Best way to start the day haha
Chrissy @ Snacking in Sneakers says
I’m dying to get an air fryer. I bought one for my mom for Mother’s Day and she’s been raving about it since, and I’ve seen a few blogging friends sharing their experiences with it. I need to get one! Also, these pop tarts look amazing.
Abbey Sharp says
Yes you do! Works like magic!
Tara @ A Daily Dose of Fit says
Now that’s how you make ice cream super cute!
Abbey Sharp says
aw thanks Tara!
Danielle Cushing says
You’re so creative. I love the Canadian flag!
Abbey Sharp says
Thanks Danielle!
EA The Spicy RD says
We didn’t have them often, but brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts are the bomb! I’ve never tried an air fryer, but I’m intrigued 🙂 These look so yummy, and I love the lemon icing on top!
Abbey Sharp says
YUM sounds amazing.
