Step by step instructions
How to Make Vegan Ninja Creami Coconut Matcha Ice Cream
Here's how to make this creamy, dairy-free treat in just a few simple steps:
- Blend the Base
In a blender, combine coconut cream, almond milk, water, matcha powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, protein powder, and sugar-free pudding mix. Blend until smooth and fully combined, the mixture should be silky with no clumps.
- Freeze for 24 Hours
Pour the blended mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container. Seal it tightly and place it in the freezer on a flat surface. Freeze for at least 24 hours until completely solid.
- Spin in the Ninja Creami
Remove the pint from the freezer and install it in your Ninja Creami machine. Select the "Lite Ice Cream" function.
If the texture looks powdery or crumbly after the first spin, use the "Re-Spin" function once or twice until it's smooth and creamy.
- Scoop and Serve
Scoop immediately and enjoy as-is, or top with shredded coconut, cacao nibs, or a dusting of matcha for an extra treat.
Pro Tip
- For the best texture use ceremonial-grade matcha for a smoother, less bitter taste.
- Taste the mix before freezing and adjust sweetener or matcha strength as needed.
- Re-spin and add a splash of almond milk if the texture is not creamy enough.
Serving Suggestions
