What is nice cream?

Nice cream, or banana ice cream, is simply frozen bananas and your choice of add-ins like fruit, cocoa or nut butters, blended up with dairy-free milk, maple syrup and/or coconut oil. The banana creates the creamy texture and naturally sweetens the nice cream.

While nice cream usually resembles the texture of soft serve, you can pour it into a parchment paper lined loaf pan and place it in the freezer until it resembles the texture of ice cream. Then, just scoop it out and enjoy with your favourite toppings!

Barlean’s Total Omega Orange Crème

While the bananas and pineapple are important ingredients in these nice cream pops, the secret ingredient is the Barlean’s Seriously Delicious™ Total Omega® Orange Crème. It’s a creamy, liquid supplement with a smoothie-like taste and texture, made with flax, fish and borage oils. So it’s a good source of Omega-3, 6 and 9 but it also tastes just like a creamsicle. You remember those, right?! They totally remind me of my childhood!

Barlean’s Total Omega supplements are also gluten-free and dairy-free, which makes them a great addition to nice creams.

How to make nice cream pops

While most nice cream recipes call for frozen bananas and fruit, you can actually make these nice cream pops using fresh bananas and fruit. Just blend the unfrozen banana, pineapple and orange crème until it’s smooth, and pour into popsicle molds. Place them in the freezer for 8-10 hours, or until frozen.

Remove from freezer and run the molds under warm water to help release the pops.

Store the pops in the freezer in an airtight container and they should last for a few weeks. (Not that any last that long in my house!)

Some tips for making orange pineapple pops

The melted chocolate and crushed pistachios are totally optional, but I always like to dress up my nice cream pops for a fancy dessert!

If you want fancy pops, once they’re frozen and removed from the mold, arrange the pops on a parchment lined baking sheet. Use a spoon to drizzle on some melted chocolate. Sprinkle the pistachios on quickly as the chocolate will set up fast. Place the pops back in the freezer to set up fully.

If you want to keep these nice cream pops dairy-free, forego the melted white chocolate, or use a dairy-free dark chocolate.

I used 3-ounce popsicle molds for this recipe, which resulted in six pops. You will get more or less depending on the size of your popsicle molds.
