Frozen Raspberries and frozen bananas blended into ready to eat creamy soft-serve with coconut cream and a touch of cinnamon. Or freeze for 1-2 hours for scoopable nice cream.

Dairy-free, sugar free like ice cream, yet thicker than sorbet.

I love ice cream and sorbet — hazelnut gelato in Europe might be my all-time favorite. I love raspberries too, so I set out to combine my favorite berry with coconut cream and see what happened. What I landed on is somehow better than either: blended fresh, it’s a perfect soft serve; after about 2 hours in the freezer, it firms up into something closer to real ice cream (leave it much longer and it gets quite hard, so plan to pull it out ahead of time if that happens).

This is the kind of dessert that works for a kid’s afternoon treat, a dinner party finish, or just a random Tuesday. One blender, less than 10 minutes, sugar-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free — and it’s ready to eat immediately.

Why Raspberry Banana Coconut Nice Cream now?

This fits right into where 2026 food trends are heading — whole, minimally processed ingredients doing all the work, with nothing added to prop up the flavor. It’s also a nice fit for the hydration-focused summer eating trend: frozen fruit desserts like this are quietly replacing sugary popsicles and store-bought ice cream as people look for something that still feels like a treat but leans on real fruit instead. And because it’s just fruit and coconut cream blended fresh, it’s the kind of “quality over quantity” dessert that’s resonating right now, rather than something chasing a protein or sugar-free gimmick for its own sake.

Ingredient Notes

Banana — provides potassium and vitamin B6, and brings natural sweetness with no added sugar needed.
Coconut cream — adds healthy fats, including MCTs, for a rich, creamy texture.
Cinnamon — antioxidant-rich, traditionally used to support balanced blood sugar.
Salt — enhances sweetness and supports fluid balance, even in a small amount.
Lemon juice — a touch of vitamin C, and keeps the banana from browning.

FAQ

Q. Can I freeze this?
A. Yes — about 2 hours gets you a firm, scoopable texture. Left longer, it hardens quite a bit, so let it soften a few minutes at room temperature before serving.

Q. Is this keto-friendly?
A. No — the banana content brings more natural sugar than fits a keto carb budget.

Q. Is this paleo-friendly?
A. Yes — every ingredient here fits a paleo approach.

Q. Do I need a high-powered blender?
A. A regular blender or food processor both work fine, though a more powerful blender will get you a smoother texture with less scraping down the sides.

Q. Can I swap the raspberries for another berry?
A. Yes — most frozen berries work well in place of raspberries here.

A Holistic Nutrition Tip

This is a nice example of a treat that’s genuinely just whole food — no added sugar, no dairy, nothing processed, just fruit and coconut cream doing all the work. Coconut cream also brings a good dose of healthy fats, which helps this feel satisfying rather than like “diet” ice cream.
