• 15 oz can Black Beans (rinsed & drained)
• 2 cups Plant-based Milk
• 6 Dates

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.
