Ingredients Needed

- 2 tbsp honey (or agave/maple syrup)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
How to Make Our Berry Coconut Nice Cream
Combine the frozen mixed berries, coconut milk, honey, and vanilla extract in a high-speed blender or food processor.
Pulse the mixture several times to break up the frozen fruit, then blend on high until the texture is completely smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides once or twice to ensure everything is incorporated.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if necessary. If you prefer a firmer, scoopable texture, transfer the nice cream to a shallow container and freeze for an additional 30โ60 minutes.
Scoop into chilled bowls and serve immediately for the best โsoft-serveโ experience.
Storage & Serving Suggestions
- Storing: Best enjoyed immediately. If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the freezer.
- Reheating: If frozen solid, let the container sit on the counter for 10โ15 minutes before scooping to regain that creamy texture.
- Freezing: Do not freeze for more than a week, as home-made nice cream can develop ice crystals over time.
- Serving Pairings: Top with a few fresh berries, a sprig of mint, or a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes for added texture.
Tips & FAQs
Can I use different fruits? Absolutely! This base works perfectly with frozen mango, pineapple, or even sliced frozen bananas for an even creamier โNice Creamโ result.
Is there a vegan alternative to honey? Yes, you can easily swap the honey for maple syrup or a dash of liquid stevia to keep this recipe strictly vegan and potentially lower the points further.
Do I have to use canned coconut milk? For the creamiest result, use the solid part of a chilled can of full-fat coconut milk. However, for a lighter Weight Watchers version, the coconut milk from a carton works greatโit will just have a more โsorbet-likeโ consistency.
Can I add protein? To turn this into a post-workout snack, blend in a scoop of vanilla protein powder. You may need an extra splash of coconut milk to maintain the smooth texture.
