Ninja Chai Tea Nice Cream

Ninja Chai Tea Nice Cream

24 hour prep time

Yields: 3 cups

dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free


Ingredients:
  • 2 ripe Bananas (fresh or frozen) or 1 cup Japanese Sweet Potato
  • 1 cup Plant-based Milk
  • 1 cup Chai Tea (brewed)
  • 4 Dates
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Ginger

Directions:
  1. Combine all ingredients in a Vitamix
  2. Using the tamper, push the Bananas into the blades if needed
  3. Blend until smooth about 30 seconds
  4. Check for sweetness, add sweetener & reblend if necessary
  5. Pour mixture into Ninja Creami Deluxe Container, if space left before Scoopable Max Fill line, add more milk, stir
  6. Place in freezer for 24 hours without the lid*
  7. When ready to enjoy, process using a Ninja Creami Deluxe Lite Ice Cream setting, Re-Spin if necessary, adding more milk if needed
  8. 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 containers.
