Here’s what you’ll gather to make this Valentines Cakes Nice Cream Bowl come to life:

Don’t have almond milk on hand? Oat or coconut milk work beautifully in this Valentines Cakes Nice Cream Bowl, too. And if fresh strawberries are hard to find, frozen mixed berries make a fine substitute.

You can find all these ingredients at most grocery stores or local markets. The veggies and fruits are affordable, and making your own vegan cake can be a nice budget-friendly option—especially if you bake a cake that doubles as a snack for the week.

Quick prep tip: Slice your bananas and freeze them a day ahead to smooth out your blending time. For the cake, if you want to save precious time, grab a vegan-friendly cake mix or even some simple bakery vegan options. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, and freeze extra banana slices until you’re ready to blend again.

I always include a little extra vanilla for flavor in my Valentines Cakes Nice Cream Bowl—something about that warm note lifts the whole bowl without adding sugar. If you want to skip the extra sugar, this recipe will still taste fantastic.
