What Makes This Recipe Great?
Welp I got a Ninja CREAMi after seeing it all over the internet and holy moly it is truly incredible!! In this new year I have been committed to working out and with that I have been trying to get more protein in my day to day. The main reason I wanted to get this is because people were making amazing looking protein ice creams and they seemed like such a tasty thing to add into our routine. I will be sharing protein ice cream recipes on here soon but the first one I had to share is dole whip! This just tastes like summer and I can’t get enough. If you haven’t heard of a Ninja Creami, I’m here to answer some questions you might have!
Ingredient Information
- Pineapple chunks- canned is perfect for this
- Canned coconut milk- make sure you use canned coconut milk and not the carton coconut milk
- Vanilla Extract
- Agave- you can also use honey as well
Step by Step Instructions
- In your creami bowl smoosh your pineapples in the bottom until they are below the fill line.
- Add the coconut milk, vanilla and agave place the lid onto and shake up. Place in the freezer on a flat service in the freezer for 24 hours.
- Next place in the Ninja Creami and hit “lite ice cream” button.
- Once it has run the course taste to see if you need more sweetness or not, feel free to add more agave. Place back and hit re-spin.
- After the re-spin if its still crumble feel free to add a touch more coconut milk and hit re-spin again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh, frozen and canned fruit in the Ninja CREAMi?
- You can fresh, frozen or canned in the CREAMi but for this recipe you need to use fresh or canned to be able to get some juice out of the fruit.
Can I refreeze leftovers?
- Yes! If there are leftovers you can flatten the top of the mixture in the container then refreeze them. But of course they will be rock solid again so you can either take it out and let sit on the counter for 15 minutes or run it back through the Ninja CREAMi on respin once.
Is Dole Whip healthier than ice cream?
- YES! Using just pineapple, coconut milk, vanilla and agave, this recipe is much healthier and just as delicious as ice cream!
How is the Ninja CREAMi different than a blender?
- With a blender, even a high powered one, you need to add a decent amount of liquid for it to blend. With the CREAMi you get super thick ice cream and sorbets that is unmatched!
Do you have to freeze the base for 24 hours?
- The Ninja CREAMi guide says you must freeze for 24 hours but I have tried to use it after they have only frozen for 6-8 hours and it still works great just slightly less thick.
