24 hour prep time
Yields: 2 Deluxe Pints

dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free


Ingredients:
  • 15 oz can Black Beans (rinsed & drained)
  • 2 cups Plant-based Milk
  • 6 Dates
  • 6 tbsp Cacao Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt

Directions:
  1. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender like a Vitamix
  2. Blend until smooth about 30 seconds
  3. Divide mixture into two Ninja Creami Deluxe Containers
  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.
