- Bananas - best when ripe. The sweetest ones are yellow with brown spots.
- Vanilla Extract - for the birthday cake flavor, of course!
- Almond Milk - I used unsweetened almond milk. You can also use other milk you have at home. The creaminess of oat milk goes really well with this recipe.
- Sprinkles - I like using the Wilton Rainbow Sprinkles for most of my recipes. Here's the link, below:

Step by Step Guide
How to Make Birthday Cake Nice Cream
STEP 1
Slice and freeze bananas. You can also freeze the bananas first, then slice them, which is what I did here.
STEP 2
Blend the frozen bananas with the almond milk and vanilla extract in a food processor or high-powered blender
STEP 3
Have a quick taste, and add more sweetener if desired. Add confetti sprinkles at the end
STEP 4
You can eat it as soft serve or freeze it in a freezer-safe container, such as pyrex glass containers
STEP 5
Freeze for about 5 hours, or overnight.
How to Make this Birthday Cake Nice Cream Healthier
- Make this even healthier by adding a handful of nuts, seeds and old-fashioned oats to add texture and nutrition before freezing.
- For a small protein boost, you can also add a tablespoon or two of protein powder of your choice when blending. I've tried using an unsweetened plant-basedprotein powder with good results.
What are some ways you can eat these?
- In a bowl or cup, drizzled with honey, maple syrup, caramel or chocolate syrup
- Stacked on a waffle or sugar cone
How to Store
- This birthday cake nice cream should be eaten immediately or frozen, and can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. For the best nice cream consistency, take the container out of the freezer and let sit out at room temperature for 10 mins. If it's in a microwaveable container, you can also microwave it for 15 seconds until softened.
Final Tips
- Use ripened bananas for the best results!
- While a food processor will give you the best consistency for the nice cream, you can also use a high-powered blender (such as Vitamix) that comes with a tamper. Use the tamper to push the ingredients into the blades of the blender, and add 2-4 Tbsp of almond milk if needed.

Notes
*While a food processor will give you the best results, you can also use a high-powered blender (such as Vitamix) that comes with a tamper. Use the tamper to push the ingredients into the blades of the blender to ensure the best consistency, and add an additional 2-4 Tbsp of almond milk if needed.
**If you're using fully ripened bananas you do not need to add any sweetener, but if you want sweeter ice cream, you can add up to ¼ cup of granulated or liquid sweetener of your choice, such as honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar or regular sugar. For a lower calorie option, I've used sugar-free sweeteners with good results, such as monk fruit sweetener and stevia (just be sure to convert according to package instructions).
