  2. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container up to the max fill line. Secure the lid and freeze on a flat surface for at least 24 hours.

Notes

Use full-fat coconut cream for the best texture. Let the frozen pint sit for 5 minutes before processing. If the ice cream is crumbly after the first spin, add 1 teaspoon coconut cream or milk and use the Re-spin function. Optional: stir in 2 tablespoons almond butter before freezing for extra richness.
