Your freezer does most of the work for this scrumptious banana nice cream recipe so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy a sweet treat with minimal effort. While the creamy vanilla-infused base chills in the icebox, you can easily whip together the saucy peach compote so it’s ready for serving. Maple syrup adds extra sweetness while fresh mint leaves deliver a cooling herbal flavor to balance out the juicy fruit. The sweet-tart flavor of yellow peaches is ideal for the no-cook compote, but any ripe peaches (or nectarines) will work. Simply top each scoop of nice cream with the compote, and dig in!

For peach compote, in a small bowl mash ¾ cup of the peaches. Add the remaining diced peaches, the maple syrup, lemon juice, and mint (if using). Stir gently.
