2. Step 2: Blend on medium-high speed for 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no chunks of dates.
3. Step 3: Pour the creamy mixture into the Ninja Creami pint, leaving some space at the top for expansion during freezing.
4. Step 4: Seal the pint with the lid and freeze it upright for at least 24 hours.
5. Step 5: After freezing, insert the pint into the Ninja Creami machine and select the “Lite Ice Cream” function. Spin for 1 to 2 minutes until it becomes fluffy and creamy.
6. Step 6: If there are leftovers, press down the ice cream to level it before sealing with the lid and storing.

Tips & Variations

• Use Medjool dates for extra natural sweetness and creaminess.
• Swap collagen peptides for a vegan protein powder to keep it plant-based.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or chili powder for a unique flavor twist.
• Adjust maple syrup to your preferred level of sweetness or omit it for a more intense chocolate taste.

Storage

Store leftovers in the Ninja Creami pint with the lid tightly sealed in the freezer. It will keep well for up to 1 week. For best texture, let ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping or use the Ninja Creami machine to refresh the texture.

FAQs

Can I use dairy milk instead of almond milk?
