Ninja Apple Butter Nice Cream

Ninja Apple Butter Nice Cream

24 hour prep time
Yields: 1 Deluxe Pint (3 cups)

dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free



Ingredients:
  • 15 oz can crushed Pears in 100% Juice
  • 1 cup Apple Butter
  • 1 cup Plant Milk
  • 1/2 cup Raw Oats
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt

Directions:
  1. Blend all ingredients using a high speed blender until smooth about 30 seconds
  2. Taste for sweetness, add sweetener if needed & reblend
  3. Pour mixture into Ninja Creami Deluxe Container, if space left before Scoopable Max Fill line, add some Plant Milk, stir
  4. Place in freezer for 24 hours without the lid*
  5. When ready to enjoy, process using a Ninja Creami Deluxe Lite Ice Cream setting, Re-Spin if necessary, adding milk if needed
  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 & smooth over shavings until a level base is formed, this prevents the blade from cutting into the container.
