Notes
DIFFERENT VARIATIONS AND IDEAS
You can experiment with different add-ins and combinations. Here are a few ideas to play with:
- Strawberry – Add some fresh or frozen strawberries. If you add fresh, add one at a time as you don’t want the nice cream to turn to liquid.
- Chocolate – Add some cocoa powder or chocolate syrup.
- Peanut Butter – Add your favorite unsweetened or sweetened peanut butter.
- Cashew Cookie – You can experiment with different nut butters. I like to add some cashew or almond butter. You can also add some dates for some added sweetness.
- Mint Chocolate Chip – Add some mint extract and some chocolate chips (vegan chocolate chips available – see post for link).
- Mixed Berry – Add your favorite fresh or frozen berries to the mix. If you add fresh, add a little at a time as you don’t want the nice cream to turn to liquid.
- Booze it Up! You can add a splash of alcohol to kick it up a notch. Add a splash of Malibu Rum to take you to the tropics for some Coconut Banana Nice Cream. Add a splash of Captain Morgan Run and raisins for Rum Raisin Nice Cream.
