Here’s a delicious recipe for Vegan Ninja Creami Coffee Ice Cream! This ice cream is rich, creamy, and full of coffee flavor—perfect for your Ninja Creami machine!
Yield: 4 Servings
Ingredients:
- 1 ¼ cups unsweetened oat milk
- 3/4 cup cashew milk or yogurt (vegan heavy cream or vegan whipping cream also works well)
- 3 tablespoons arrowroot starch (or cornstarch)
- 1/3 cup white or brown sugar (vegan)
- 1 to 1 ½ tbs instant coffee (decaf or regular)
- 3 tablespoons water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter (or coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ice Cream Base:
- In a medium bowl combine the oat milk, cashew milk or yogurt, and arrowroot starch.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, instant coffee, water and salt, over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Allow mixture to simmer for about 7 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Slowly whisk the milk mixture into the saucepan.
- Return the saucepan to medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add the butter and vanilla extract, stirring until the butter is melted and thoroughly combined.
- Let the mixture cool to room temperature, about 15-20 minutes.
- Chill the Mixture:
- Once cooled, pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami container and make sure the mixture does not exceed the “MAX FILL” line. Refrigerator for 2–3 hours, or until fully chilled.
- Freeze the Mixture in the Ninja Creami:
- Freeze the mixture for at least 24 hours (this is important for the best texture).
- Process the Ice Cream:
- After 24 hours of freezing, remove the pint from the freezer. Place it into the Ninja Creami machine.
- Select the “Gelato” or “Ice Cream” function, depending on your preference. Let the machine process the ice cream.
- Check the Texture:
- After the first cycle, check the texture of the ice cream. Use the “Re-spin” function until you reach the desired consistency.
- Serve:
- Once the ice cream is at the perfect consistency, scoop and serve immediately! Optionally, top with vegan chocolate chips, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or even some crushed nuts.
Tips:
- Sweeteners: Adjust the amount of sugar based on your sweetness preference.
- Storage: Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week. Re-spin it in the Ninja Creami if it becomes too hard.
Enjoy your creamy, vegan coffee ice cream made with your Ninja Creami!
