Ninja Apple Cider Italian Ice

Ninja Apple Cider Italian Ice

24 hour prep time
Yields: 3 cups

dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free



Ingredients:
  • 3 cups Apple Cider

Directions:
  1. Pour Juice into Ninja Creami Deluxe Container, up to Max Fill line
  2. Place in freezer for 24 hours without the lid*
  3. When ready to enjoy, process using the Ninja Creami Deluxe Italian Ice setting, re-spin if necessary, adding more liquid if needed

Hoff Thoughts: *Freezing without the lid or any covering helps to prevent the “volcano” mound from forming. Should a mound form simply scrape with the back of a spoon & smooth over shavings until a level base is formed, this prevents the blade from cutting into the container.

Easier Basic DIY Yogurt (IP)

Easier Basic DIY Yogurt (IP)

Yields: 2 cups
dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free, oil-free



Ingredients:


Directions (Instant Pot):
  1. Blend Tofu, Water & Probiotics or Yogurt Starter OR whisk Soy Milk & Probiotics or Yogurt Starter
  2. Pour directly into Instant Pot
  3. Cover with lid
  4. Select Yogurt setting & change time to 8 (mild) or 12 (tart) hours
  5. Transfer Yogurt to another container or cool & strain for a thicker consistency & to retrieve Whey for next batch
  6. Serve desired amount with jam, fruit, nuts, etc. or use to make a sauce

Hoff Thoughts: 
  • Sterilize IP liner by placing in 400 degree oven for 15 minutes
  • Soy Milk should be room temperature or no hotter than 110 degrees, if using
  • Your IP will never come up to pressure, the timer will start at zero & go up until the time set; that’s how you know it’s working
  • Freeze some of the “Whey” to start your next batch of Yogurt (up to 2-3 times) instead of using Probiotics or starter
  • Yogurt good up to two weeks
  • Store Probiotics or Yogurt Starter in refrigerator
