Ninja Gingerbread Nice Cream

Ninja Gingerbread Nice Cream

24 hour prep time

Yields: 1 Deluxe Pint (3 cups)
dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free




Ingredients:
  • 1/2 - 15 oz can Pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup Raw Oats
  • 1 1/2 cups Plant-Based Milk
  • 4 Dates
  • 2 tbsp Molasses
  • 2 tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 1 tsp Ginger
  • 1 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt


Directions:
  1. Blend all ingredients until smooth about 30 seconds
  2. Pour mixture into Ninja Creami Deluxe Container, if space left before Scoopable Max Fill line, add Plant Milk, stir
  3. Place in freezer for 24 hours without the lid*
  4. When ready to enjoy, process using a Ninja Creami Deluxe Lite Ice Cream setting, Re-Spin if necessary, adding more Water if needed
  5. Finish with a sprinkle of Brown Sugar
  6. Eat it all or place leftovers back into freezer till next time

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 & smooths over shavings until a level base is formed, this prevents the blade from cutting into the container.
