dove nut and fruit ice cream
I remember the first time I realized that you could make ice cream with frozen bananas. I was SO excited because,
- It allowed me to make ice cream in a blender, and more importantly…
- it tasted amazing!
How could something so good be so easy and better for my family? Love it.
Since then, I have played around with many different varieties of no-churn ice cream. This one is off-the-charts delicious. It’s all about the mix-ins. You start with DOVE® Dark Chocolate Strawberry & Cocoa Almond and DOVE® Roasted Almonds covered in Milk Chocolate.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED TO MAKE THIS NUT AND FRUIT ICE CREAM:
- 2 frozen bananas
- ⅔ cup, nonfat Greek yogurt
- ½ cup light coconut milk
- 1 package, DOVE® Dark Chocolate Strawberry & Cocoa Almond
- 1 package, DOVE® Roasted Almonds covered in Milk Chocolate
HOW TO MAKE NUT AND FRUIT ICE CREAM:
- Place first three ingredients in blender, combine until smooth.
- Stir in the DOVE® Chocolate Fruit & Nut.
- Pour into freezer-safe container, and freeze until solid (about 1 hour)
- Scoop and serve!
So snackable! I had to hold off on digging in right away so I could make the ice cream! The final recipe was well worth it.
Simply combine frozen bananas, nonfat Greek yogurt, and light coconut milk in a blender. Once it’s smooth, stir in DOVE® Chocolate Fruit & Nut. Be generous, they are best part of this recipe!
Pop in the freezer for an hour to solidify, and it’s ready to scoop!
handy tools to use when making this fruit and nut ice cream:
- ice cream scoop – nonstick, anti-freeze scoop, use either hand for scooping

YUM. This is one snack habit I love to indulge… a scoop of this ice cream would brighten up any afternoon. I try to take a few minutes or so each day and sit down with a snack. It refreshes me for the rest of the day, and keeps me in a positive mindset. I get a chance to recharge and enjoy a little snack. This one has definitely become a favorite. It satisfies my cravings for something sweet and keeps me on track with the goals I have for myself.
Plus it tastes so decadent! Creamy ice cream, crunchy nuts, and plenty of chocolate. Grab a spoon!

Wow! This recipe looks amazing! I love the idea of making our own ice cream and then topping it with something tasty like DOVE® Chocolate Fruit & Nut. This may be my next big ‘reward’ after a new boot camp style class at the gym I’m trying! #client
