Nice cream is a frozen dessert that is made with frozen fruit and sometimes other ingredients, such as plant-based milk, yogurt, or nut butter. It is a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional ice cream, and it is also much easier to make.I first came up with this recipe for strawberry and rhubarb nice cream a few years ago when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover fruit. I had some strawberries and rhubarb in my fridge that were starting to go bad, so I decided to try making a nice cream with them. The nice cream turned out so well, and it quickly became one of my favorite summer treats.
