Equipment

Ingredients

1 can coconut milk 400 ml
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
3 oz cream cheese
3 tablespoon lime juice Juice from 3 Limes
3 teaspoon lime zest Zest from 3 Limes
¼ cup powdered sweetener sugar substitute
¼ teaspoon coconut extract

Instructions

Use the multiplier above to adjust quantities based on your machine: 1X for Original 7 in 1 (16 ounces) and 1.5X for Deluxe (24 ounces).
Add the coconut milk, almond milk, cream cheese, lime juice, lime zest, powdered sweetener, and coconut extract to a blender
Blend on high until completely smooth, with no visible chunks of cream cheese
Taste the mixture and adjust as needed, add more coconut extract for stronger coconut flavor, more lime juice for extra tang, or more sweetener if you prefer it sweeter
Pour the blended mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container
Freeze the container overnight, for at least 24 hours, until completely solid
Once frozen, place the pint into the Ninja Creami machine and process on the Lite Ice setting
Check the texture, if it's too crumbly, re-spin once for a smoother finish
Scoop into bowls and top with a sprinkle of lime zest and unsweetened coconut flakes, if desired

Notes

The lime flavor gets stronger after a day in the freezer, so don't be afraid to taste-adjust light on the first batch
Coconut extract is optional but makes the coconut flavor come through more without adding more coconut milk
This base works well as a starting point for other tropical flavor combos if you want to experiment
