🍠 Sweet potato ice cream recipe:
1 medium sweet potatoes, previously baked (approx. 1-1 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 cups soy milk (or any other vegan milk you like!) + more if needed
3-4 TBL maple syrup
2-3 TBL cocoa powder
Pinch of salt
Start with the smaller quantities of each ingredient. Blend everything together and give it a taste. If it needs more sweetness, add more maple syrup, if it needs more chocolate flavor, add the extra TBL of cocoa, if it's too thick, add more soy milk. Add all the contents into your Creami pint and freeze overnight. To make rocky road I added walnuts, vegan chocolate chips and vegan marshmallows. Enjoy!

NEW healthy ice cream recipes in the Creami! 🤩🤩 ruclips.net/video/C3dHVzte_ow/видео.html
Hi Maddy, I don’t usually let mine sit out. I just scrape the bump down - if there is one - and spin. Respin if crumbly. I have 7 containers so I have lots of options. Ninja makes other models for larger amounts. Yes they are loud. I keep mine in another room and use it in there. I also wanted to mention that the seal on the lid should be removed and cleaned as well. I didn’t know that when I first got mine and it got a bit gunky.. ugh. Have fun… I know you’ll continue to love it.
Oooh thank you for all these tips!! Yes I was thinking it probably didn’t need to sit out too long (or maybe not at all) after I realized it was getting soft pretty quickly. 😅 So thank you for letting me know! Same with the seal! I was worried to remove it, but now will definitely make sure I clean it. 🤗🤗 Appreciate it!
I had one for Christmas and love it. Look forward to having more recipes to try . Good to see you looking so well. 🍦🍨🍦
Oh yay! Seems to be a popular item. 🤩 And thank you!
I use a can of pineapple, soy milk and a 1/2 tsp of coconut extract. it's like pina colada ice cream. So good!
Omg that sounds divine!! 😃
I’m so glad you got one of these, I’m looking forward to seeing what recipes you come up with!
Me too! 😝😝
Welcome to the Creami wagon !!! I have had mine for close to 2 years and, if it broke, I would buy another right then and there ! Also, don't forget to wash the rubber ring once in a while and wipe the corrugated rod that holds the blade after each spin. And YES, definitely buy more pints ! I have 6 and I feel this is a good number. Looking forward to see all the new Creami creations you come up with ! Happy spinning !
Hahaha thank you!! And thanks for all the tips! Yes 6 seems like a good number so I’ll probably get the bonus 4 pack to go along with my two. 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Can’t wait!
We got our Creami almost 2 years ago and we still use it all the time. I make pinapple sorbet with frozen pineapple+pineapple juice, some vanilla pudding mix then when you respin add some Aroy-D coconut milk (in a box). It's the most silky smooth pinapple/coconut sorbet. Way better than anything I've ever bought in a store.
Oh wow! Those additions to the pineapple sound amazing! I’ll have to give that a try. 🤩
I gave my Cuisinart away...LOVE the NINJA ...will make your sweet potato choco...looks great. Kathy Hester has a lot NINJA Creamini teaching youtubes on her channel. Very thorough. Be sure to wash out the lid really well. I use a brush on it to get in all the crevices...and run hot water through it and then let it dry upside down. LOVED your enthusiasm. And yes, I did make a bunch of pints for a party at my sister's. Everyone was in NINJA heaven. So excited for your family to now be three. Wishing all the happiness in the world.
I’m intrigued! I can’t imagine giving mine away! 😆😆 But we shall see. Thank you for the tip about the lid! Someone else just mentioned that as well. Very good to know.
And omg I can’t believe you guys had a ninja ice cream party!!! That is awesome! Sounds like such a good time. 😃😃
After the first spin when its crumbly put a butter knife down the side of the glass before next spin it pushes the ice out into the mix
I just watched 2 other YT videos saying just that. Glad there is a community of folks like you offering these great to know tips! ♥️
@@ms.one-town901 yeah also if you keep respining without adding milk it will come thick like mcdonalds ice cream, or do second respin as milshake option because thats the fastest one then do normal respins if needed, good recipe for you to do is oatmilk honey and cardimon! About 10-15 pods boiled in the pan with the oatmilk then strain the bits out
Great tips! Thank you! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I’m so glad you got one! I figured out pretty quickly that you don’t have to scrape down the top bump and you don’t have to let it set out. We put it directly in and spin! We’ve been using So Delicious coconut yogurt with strawberries and we tried with chocolate. Both are awesome! Strawberry is our favorite. I’m definitely going to try your sweet potato recipe!
Ok thank you for the tips!! I had watched so many reviews to say to scrape down the middle.. but seems like a lot of people ignore that. 😆 I’ll try spinning it straight from the freezer next time. Your yogurt recipe sounds great too. Can’t wait to try them all! 😃
Thanks Maddy … I never have enough room in my freezer so I took the plunge on the Magimix Gelato machine last year when it was on sale…all I can say is it’s the most amazing thing ever….
Oh wow I haven’t heard of that one! I’ll check it out.. sounds lovely. 😃
That makes it feature takes everything to the next level for homemade ice cream. I love that.
Yes!! Totally agree! 😍🍦🍦
Try freezing without the lid - usually less of a hump because it freezes from the top down as well as the sides in, rather than that pocket of air insulating the top and thus only freezing from the sides in, allowing the expanding liquid to bubble up and create the hump. And if the hump is centered it's probably not an issue at all. If it's off center then that's more of a concern. Also I'm not a thaw-er so that's worth experimenting with.
Great tips!! I’ll do both of these and see how it goes. 🤗🤗 Thanks
Put the container in the freezer, without the lid. This makes the liquid very flat, with no bump.
Great tip thanks for sharing! I’ll give that a try. 🤗
If you love ice cream, check out the Ninja Creami! amzn.to/4cvBJLw (They are currently on sale!) 🍦 Can't wait to use this for more healthy treats this summer. 🤩
❤❤❤ The best video ever! I love ice cream! Looking forward to more ice cream recipes! ❤❤❤
Woohoo! Me too! 🍦🍦🍦 Thank you I'm looking forward to sharing them. 🤩
Dairy-free refined sugar free cookie dough ice cream is what I've been craving lately. My ice bucket style ice-cream maker just doesn't cut it so I might be looking at getting a new machine soon. Also, would love to see the Cuisinart comparison video.
Oooh cookie dough ice cream is one of my favorites! Would be pretty easy to make too I think. 🤩 Comparison video is definitely in the works!
Soooo delicious! I loove ice cream! I've heard the trick is to cream it once, then add a splash of plant milk and spin it put it into the creamer a second time - then it should get perfectly creamy. 😇
lol once I typed in the comment a few seconds later you did exactly that xD
Hahaha yes!!! Still getting used to it too. I think I didn’t need to respin before adding mix ins for the chocolate. Can’t wait to play around with it some more!
Looking forward to your new ice cream recipes! I bought a creami a couple months ago and I haven’t found recipes that were healthy enough for me. The sweet potato chocolate seems like a good one to try.
🙌🏻🙌🏻 Yay! Lots more coming this summer. I’ve also heard Kathy Hester has great healthy recipes and is also here on RUclips. 😊
I love my Creami! Got it for Christmas and have used it basically every week since. I've never let mine set out and thaw nor have I scrapped the top flat. LOL never had any issues and I don't find any need to respin the next day at least with he recipes I've used. I use the plantbasedcookingschool recipes. So excited to try your sweet potato version.
It’s such a great machine! Ok good to know for the tips, I won’t worry too much about doing those then. Thanks! 😃
Yay! Excellent review, I can’t wait to try some of your recipes ❤thank you
Aww thank you! So glad you enjoyed. 🤗
This is perfect for a sweet healthy summer treat, and just in time before it gets to be summer 🎉
Totally agree! 🤩🙌🏻🍨🍦
You look great!! When are you due??
Loved the ice cream video.
Beth
Thanks Beth! Any day now.. just patiently waiting. 😅😅
Please please please please please make more flavors I've had my ninja creamy for a little while and have been having a hard time finding plant-based vegan recipes
Definitely more coming this summer!!! 🤩🙌🏻🙌🏻
I love my Ninja! I have a Nutribullet and i put my pineapple, vanilla soy milk, chia gel and fresh ginger blend it like a smoothie freeze and yum! I have also used a chocolate meal replacement drink. I'll never go back to store bought ice cream again!
Oh wow, love your pineapple combo! Sounds divine! 🤩🍍
i just order this one today can't wait for it
Wohoo!! You’re gonna love it! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
🍦great video! Please make the comparison video! I want to buy a maker - which is better? 🙏🥰❤️🍦
Wohoo! Yes that’s exactly what I want to test, which one will be worth it. 🤩 Coming soon!
Love these ideas! Would love to hear more about your experience with this machine
Awesome! Can’t wait to share more. 😃
Another amazing video Maddie and I have the Ninja Kitchen Foodie blender which has a frozen dessert program so I think I would rather use that and I haven't got round to making ice cream yet but this video has given me some ideas and inspiration to do it. Thanks for sharing these healthy ice cream recipes and love 🥰 the video and love 💞 Maddie & ❤Q.
Oh wow that’s awesome! I was wondering if they had a multi-function appliance. Sounds great David!
Been waiting for this video! Please do the comparison as I am considering either one. I am interested to make soy milk or oat milk based recipies as I am nut free. I use soy milk, but have heard oat milk can make a creamier texture.
Yay! Definitely will be making that video. 😃 I’ve heard oat milk can make a great base too. Maybe even homemade oat milk to up the creaminess. Can’t wait to play around with some options. 😁😁
Can’t wait to see your creations …I have one! 💕 your channel! Best wishes for your new addition.
Awww thank you! 🤗🤗🤗 Yes, very excited to get back to creating some new ones. 🤩
Word of caution. Some of the mixture can accumulate between the top and bottom part of the lid, where the spring mechanism is. It is really a mess to clean out if it happens and because the color of the lid is smoky, it’s somewhat difficult to see I have seen people on RUclips using dental water pics And little straw brushes to try to clean it out.
That is a great tip!! Thank you for sharing. Will definitely make sure to clean that!
🍨 my faves are pistachio & strawberry cheesecake
Omg both of those sound great! I’m definitely working on a pistachio recipe as it’s one of my husband’s favorites as well. 😃
I absolutely love strawberry cheesecake….yum! 😋
I would love to see a comparison with a regular ice cream machine!
It’s definitely coming! 😁
1) How's the "mouth feel"? You had added some milk to the pineapple, but since it was frozen solid, did you feel any ice crystals, or did it pulverize them well.
2) How loud is it compared to your Vitamix or Ninja? I sometimes leave the kitchen when I run the blender.
Good questions! So the mouth feel is pretty amazing. Even before adding the soy milk it was very sorbet-like and not icy. It definitely pulverizes ice crystals, and of course you can churn it repeatedly if needed. I do think adding some kind of creaminess into the recipe enhances that even more though! As I mentioned in the vid, it really helps with flavor, not just consistency, which adds to the overall mouth feel I find.
It’s probably about as loud as the vitamix on setting 7 or 8. Not unbearable (I find the vitamix food processor louder actually), but I did leave the room, just because it’s on autopilot, so that makes it easy. 😊
Thank you so so much I know you got a little one coming so it'll be a little bit but I'll keep watching
Thank you! 🥰🥰
Where do you get the waffle cones? I can’t wait to try this recipe.
I got these at NoFrills! They are president’s choice brand 😊
Hi are you aware of the new information that plastic gets scraped off of the inside of the main container ?❤
No I haven’t heard this yet! Do you have a link to where you read that?
@@LetsEatPlants I saw this on Mia Maples latest vid titled 1star ... She shows where she learned this and you see an example. She doesn't trash the product , she has a way of using her giant platform to get info out and staying a positive channel . ❤
@@kathrynparker9790 Ok thanks for letting me know! I'll be sure to check it out. 😃
@@LetsEatPlants ❤
Yea I would love to see different ice cream 🍦 thanks
Wohoo! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I’m not sure why the light ice cream recipe in the ninja creami book is called “lite”. It calls for coconut cream which is way higher in calories than actual milk, pretty bizarre.
Good point! I didn’t even notice that 🤔🤔
@@LetsEatPlants someone made it in another video and said it was the best ice cream ever though so probably worth it!
@@cb4215 Hahaha ok good to know! I’ll have to try it out. 😁
Just make sure you wash the gasket after you remove it from the lid. I've heard it gets pretty stinky and can actually grow mold
Great tip! I didn’t know it was removable. Thank you!
Hi Maddie, I miss your videos. Hope all is well with you and your new family. I look forward to your return!❤️
Aww thank you Julie! We are doing well … just taking it all day by day. 😅 I really miss making videos and hope to be getting some time back soon to get back to it. 💕
I like the concept but if I want ice cream, I want it then! I don't want to prepare a day in advance. That's my biggest hold back.
I have been wondering how that will work out myself! Will have to see how that goes over the next few months of using it. 😅 I’m thinking I will just have some prepped flavors in the freezer so they’re ready to go, but I’ll definitely be addressing that in my Cuisinart vs. Ninja video!
🍦 I'm a little confused how this is different from a regular blender. It's it just in the the blades spin? I'm gonna go look it up right now because that chocolate looked so good. 😂
Yes I was too at first! 😆😆 So the main difference I’ve noticed is that you don’t need nearly as much liquid to get the blades turning, like you would with a blender. So when I’ve made banana nice cream in the Vitamix before it ends up getting too soft because I need to add a lot of liquid to get the blades moving. (For that reason I think this machine will also be great for things like smoothie bowls! But milkshakes, not so much, as it just doesn’t seem necessary. 😂) It also takes things from a rock-hard solid state into creamy in just a few minutes, whereas with a blender you wouldn’t be able to do that. So really the possibilities are endless with the different kinds of ice cream you can make! Let me know if you find any other differences though, I’m still learning mine and would love to learn more. 😃
@@LetsEatPlants thank you!
@@shellym79 You’re welcome!
🍦wow, looks like a winner! I would love to see a peach flavor. I would buy it just to make peach ice cream, I loved it so much. And probably add earplugs to my order😂
@@bjoyp7463 Yes!! Peach would be so easy! Canned peaches (or fresh or frozen) mixed with a bit of soy milk or oat milk. Yummmm!
Hi! I watched a previous ice cream video where you use the Cuisinart ice cream maker and I was thinking of purchasing. Which of the two do you recommend? I do not have a lot of counter space and will need to store and take it out when I use it. Thank you.
Hi there! It really depends on your needs and preferences. The Cuisinart makes larger quantities and you don’t need to freeze your ice cream mixture for 24 hours before churning. (Just make sure you freeze the bowl! I just left mine in the freezer at all times.) The Ninja Creami is great for single serve, which gives more variety if you have spare pint containers from them, and gives you that “freshly churned” texture instantly. It is quite a bit louder than the Cuisinart and takes up slightly more space, but I do love the texture and consistency of ice cream it makes. It’s also easy to make healthy ice cream with it, since it can churn pretty much anything.. including plain frozen fruit like in this video… whereas the same ingredient mixture made in the Cuisinart may get icy over time in the freezer. Hope this helps!! 😃😃 Let me know if you have more questions. 😊
@@LetsEatPlants Thank you so much! Thank you for letting me about the ice cream turning icy with the Cuisinart, that's what I was wondering. I just saw some videos on the Ninja Creami Deluxe, which is nice because it offers larger pints, but the size is big....wow, tough decision. I'm not vegan but I'm trying to cook 80% vegan and I'm also not drinking dairy, so my ice cream would be vegan. Do you keep the Ninja on your countertop? I will have to check if the original creami is not as tall as the deluxe, so maybe that's a good option. lol...sorry..I want a machine so bad but not an easy decision. After watching your ice cream videos it made me want to purchase a machine...I want to try your recipes -they better taste amazing, lol!
@@heidyh.8739 You’re welcome! So yes, just to clarify it’s not the Cuisinart making it icy.. it’s the ingredients of a healthier ice cream. But the magic of the Ninja is that it breaks up those ice crystals every time you churn it, so basically right before you eat it!
Oooh the deluxe sounds great! I didn’t know they have that option. 😃 With the creami you can eat half and store the other half back in the freezer and just churn it again when you’re ready… so even if it’s quite large that would work out ok!
I store mine in the pantry when I’m not using it because it takes up too much counter space for something that doesn’t get used everyday. (Especially in winter I’m not really using it at all!) Maybe in the summer if I’m using it frequently I’ll keep it out. 😄😄
That’s awesome you’re incorporating more vegan meals!! Love that! Definitely try some of these ice creams .. they are healthy and yummy. 😋 Lots of other vegan options for ice cream nowadays too so I’m sure you’ll get great use out of whichever ice cream maker you get!
@@LetsEatPlants I just got my Ninja Creamie today woohoo!!! So excited! I'm wrapping it up for my husband as a wedding anniversary gift, lol!! Some years back I gave him a Blendtec blender and two years ago I gave him a Nama J2 cold press juicer, POOR GUY! It's the only way I can get away with buying these kitchen appliances:) Which two ice cream recipes are your favorite? I want to make your favorite recipes first. Thank you so much! I look forward to seeing more of your unique and healthy recipes. hugs
@@heidyh.8739 Woohoo! I think you both will love it!! Hahaha love that you get him gifts that benefit both of you. Great idea! 😆😆 I really like the chocolate sweet potato ice cream 🍠 recipe from this video and also the mint chip made with avocado! 🥑 Enjoy!
🍨 yes please a comparison :)
Yay! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Good news, Maddie. Dr Greger is moving to Vancouver, BC on around June 28th.
Very cool!
🍦
She called it “ice cream” when it’s not ice cream at all. There are names for a reason. Ice cream has to have a certain percent of milk cream, and it also has to have the thickening cream effect by sugar (and now allulose can be used for similar effect). So 99.9% of classic sugar free iced treats and all of the zero/low fat iced treats are not ice cream. It sounds like I’m splitting hairs but I’m not. These are important factors in flavor and nutrition. It’s not as big of a deal from you, but these rules are to prevent companies from lying and misleading people about what they’re eating. For people like you sharing, it can also be used to mislead people into thinking there is a “healthy ice cream” options which is a lie because it’s not ice cream. Now that Allulose has been made available, that has similar properties to sugar and can work as a replacement for real ice cream. Only for the past Few years has this advancement and most store brands have not caught on yet to allulose actually being able to make real ice cream. I’m not judging you for anything that you’ve chosen to say here, it’s an innocent use. But I think it’s important for people to know this because other people make these claims about their recipes that are just misleading/lies. A real ice cream has to have a lot of milk fat, and it must have allulose or sugar or potentially some other texture changing ingredients (alcohol potentially). Most “sugar-free” ice cream isn’t real ice cream, and only in the past year or two was real sugar free ice cream possible with allulose.
Ok 😊
lol at Americans calling that cocoa/sugar mixture for cocoa powder
🤔🤔? The cocoa used here is plain cocoa.

So far I find that it’s absolutely NOT worth it. Why it’s a machine that advertises like it makes ice cream in a timely manner is beyond me and why it’s advertised that it makes ice cream while conveniently requiring you to buy a WHOLE SEPARATE blender is beyond me. If I could return it and get a real sorbet maker I would do so in a heartbeat because now I’m sitting here with this machine that doesn’t do anything but mix after waiting forever.
Oh no! I guess it's not for everyone. I do also have the Cuisinart ice cream maker, which is more of just a churner, and you don't need to wait for anything to freeze first. Maybe you can return the Ninja Creami and check out some other options! 🙁🙁
If you want a sorbet maker, the Nama J2 makes sorbet - I have this juicer and I love it. I also make nut milk and cold-press juice with it. But, I purchased the ice cream machine because I wanted to make vegan ice cream, which has a creamier consistency than the sorbet. I'm hoping I will love the Ninja Creamie.

Welp, wasted half a quart of ice cream and some milk just trying to make a shake as the first test. The blade inside just spins at the top. I thought it was supposed to move up and down 🤔 Total fail.
Oh no! It definitely *is* supposed to move up and down. 🤔🤔 Does it work on the other settings? If not you may need to call Ninja and get it fixed! Sounds like something’s not working right. 🫤
so why can't you make an ice cream mix and put it in a blender? That is all this is doing. what a waste of space in a kitchen.
You definitely can! If you’ve ever done it before you will know it’s challenging without adding too much liquid, but if you’ve got it down, then of course you can do it that way. 😊 This machine just makes it easier and a lot of people prefer the convenience.
Lol, another Ninja gimmick piece of equipment that would end up in the shed after 6 months.
My mom was doing this exact same thing 45 years ago with her Osterizer Blender 😂😂
Lol… to each their own! A lot of viewers of this channel have had theirs for years and LOVE it. I also have a Vitamix and have made plenty of “ice creams” (sorbets, etc) in there and this machine is completely different. However, if it’s not for you, that’s fine too. 😊😊
Waste of money. You can basically do this with a blender
It’s definitely different than a blender! I have a Vitamix and this is absolutely not the same. A blender needs a lot more liquid to get the blades moving and ends up giving you a much wetter consistency. (Speaking from experience here!) You could however potentially use a food processor instead, as it doesn’t require as much liquid. 😊 The machine definitely isn’t a necessity, but is great to have for convenience if you love ice cream.
Wow, it looked amazing.. SWEET POTATO ICE CREAM🥹✨ definitely would watch more recipes, now I think I have to get it🫠🥲
It was sooo good! Will definitely be making more recipes as the weather warms up. 🤩 And yesss I’m thinking it’ll be worth the investment for ice cream lovers! 🍦🍨
