Description
A delicious dairy-free treat—this homemade high-protein salted caramel Ninja Creami recipe is a healthier alternative to traditional ice cream made with simple ingredients like almond milk, coconut milk, medjool dates, and vanilla protein powder. Topped with the easiest no-cook caramel sauce, it’s ultra decadent but designed for you to eat the whole pint!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240ml) almond milk
- 3/4 cup (180ml) canned coconut milk
- 1 scoop (30g) vanilla protein powder (or plant based)
- 2–3 pitted medjool dates
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Caramel sauce
- 1 tbsp (16g) nut/seed butter (I really like almond butter, tahini, or SunButter)
- 2 tbsp (40g) maple syrup
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Blend all the ice cream ingredients until smooth with no date chunks remaining.
- Pour into a Ninja Creami pint container, and freeze overnight (or at least 8 hours).
- Blend on the “lite ice cream” setting. Add a splash of milk. Blend on “re-spin” 1-2 times to desired consistency.
- Whisk together all the ingredients for the caramel sauce until smooth and drizzle-able.
- Drizzle the sauce on top, add toppings if desired, and enjoy.
