How to Make Cookie Dough Nice Cream Recipe in Minutes

If you haven't jumped on the nice cream bandwagon yet, it's time to change that. Essentially ice cream minus the dairy, nice cream is just as creamy and delicious as the real deal. However, because it's made with plant-based ingredients, it's more eco-friendly than desserts made with cow's milk.

While you can make an endless variety of nice creams, Stephanie Manzinali, the vegan food blogger behind @that.veganbabe, shared a recipe on TikTok that's hard to beat: cookie dough. It's also incredibly easy to make. You just add bananas, almond butter, maple syrup, mini chocolate chips, and a few other ingredients to a blender.

"If you haven’t tried nice cream yet, this is a great one to start with. It’s super sweet and satisfying," she says. "Store it in the freezer, or eat right away."

Yep, sounds pretty nice to us. Here's how to make Manzinali's cookie dough nice cream recipe for yourself!
