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!
