🧂 Ingredients

3/4 cup raw, shelled pistachios
1/3 cup raw cashews
1/4-1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
1/3 cup THICK coconut yogurt or greek yogurt

1/8-1/4 tsp almond extract

Instructions

1 Note: If making ice cream with the Ninja Creami, the ice cream mixture will need
to be frozen over-night. Just keep that in mind incase you're planning on
enjoying it at a certain time!
2 Blend all of the ice cream ingredients in a high powered blender until smooth.
You can taste the mixture & add extra sweetener, if needed (keep in mind the
mixture tastes more sweet before freezing/making into ice cream).
3 Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint and freeze over-night or for 8ish
hours until completely solid. Then use your Ninja Creami on the Lite Ice Cream
setting. I like to run mine twice to get it extra creamy.
4 Note: Freeze the ice cream bowl in the freeze the night before or the morning of
making your ice cream.
5 Blend all of the ice cream ingredients in a high powered blender until smooth.
You can taste the mixture & add extra sweetener, if needed (keep in mind the
mixture tastes more sweet before freezing/making into ice cream). Then turn the
ice cream maker on and follow your ice cream makers directions on how to make
the ice cream (usually you just pour it right in while it's running!)
6 Blend all of the ingredients for the pistachio ice cream until smooth. You can
taste the mixture & add extra sweetener, if needed (keep in mind the mixture
tastes more sweet before freezing/making into ice cream).
7 Pour the ice cream mixture into a silicone ice cube tray. The next day, once
they're frozen, pop them out and re-blend into creamy ice cream/soft serve!
