Here's an easy technique for making light and fluffy frozen desserts. Fold in whipped bean liquid to create a creamy, aerated consistency.
Blend strawberries, banana, dates and non-dairy milk in a high-powered blender until smooth and creamy. Place in a bowl and gently fold in whipped aquafaba. Note: To make whipped aquafaba, use a hand beater or stand mixer to whip together 3/4 cup bean liquid (liquid from a 15 ounce can) and a 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice or a 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar. Whip for 5 minutes or until mixture forms stiff peaks. (This will yield more than one cup. Leftover whipped aquafaba will keep overnight in the refrigerator)

Does any home chef have a good substitute for the aqua faba? That stuff makes me pass gas for days and I have found that I have to completely keep away from it... TIA ??

The aquafaba gives a creamier consistency but you can make the nice cream without it. Just increase the amount of non-dairy milk.

Is the sugar content too high for diabetics? I don't eat bananas or mangoes. Do you have a vanilla nice cream recipe? And should I be adding dates?

Dr. Fuhrman's meal plans for diabetes do not use dates. High powered blending any of your favorite frozen fruits (excluding the bananas and mangos) would give you more of a sorbet style dessert. Most 'nice creams' use the frozen banana to imitate the texture of dairy based ice cream. There is one on this site - Chocolate Cherry Ice Cream that doesn't have banana. Use the search button to find these.

What kind of beans are best for the liquid?

I've heard of using the liquid from canned garbanzo beans. Any white bean would probably be good where the liquid isn't dark.

Light and fluffy, not too sweet. I can tell that will make this many more times in the future.

Great! The first time I made this I tried “improving it” and was disappointed, so determined to try again except follow the recipe this time. Glad I did! Tasted like strawberry ice cream with a hint of banana.

And if you mess up like I did and put the entire aquafaba in it, it tastes like a light strawberry cool whip. ??

I did not have any frozen strawberries, so I used frozen sweet cherries instead. I also omitted the frozen banana because I thought it would be too sweet since there were dates in the recipe. It turned out great! I was also glad I that I had left out the frozen banana because my vitamix had a tough enough time blending the frozen cherries, dates and the small amount of soy milk. Lots of stopping and scraping to get it to blend. The leftover whipped aquafaba stored in the fridge overnight did not hold up at all, next time I'll either make less or just pitch it.

You could add coconut, or just extra dates, plus more non-dairy milk as needed. You might also add walnuts.
