Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 cup almond milk (unsweetened) Choose brands like Califia or Silk for the best taste.
  • 1/3 cup coconut cream Alternatively, use refrigerated full-fat coconut milk.
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup (optional) Adjust based on the sweetness of the dates.
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract High-quality vanilla elevates the flavor.
  • 5 Medjool dates, pitted Look for soft, fresh dates for sweetness.
  • 2 Tbsp cocoa powder Use unsweetened cocoa for rich chocolate flavor.
  • 2 Tbsp collagen peptides (optional) Adds protein and creaminess.
  • 1/8 tsp salt A pinch enhances overall flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prep your blender by adding all ingredients. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until silky smooth.
  2. Carefully pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami pint, leaving space at the top for expansion. Cover and freeze for 24 hours.
  3. Once frozen, smooth the surface with a spoon for easy blending.
  4. Plug in the Ninja Creami and securely insert your pint.
  5. Select the 'Lite Ice Cream' setting. If needed, add a tablespoon of almond milk and rerun with the 'Re-spin' setting.
  6. Store any leftovers in the Creami pint with the lid on for optimal freshness.

Notes

Always opt for fresh, high-quality ingredients to maximize flavor. If your mixture is too thick, a splash of almond milk can help blend it smoothly.
