Ingredients
- ⅔ cup cooked white beans (like cannellini or great norther beans) drained and rinsed
- ⅛ teaspoon peppermint extract
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon tahini optional
- 1 small handful spinach optional for color
- ¾-1 ounce vegan chocolate bar
Instructions
- Blend the base. Add beans, mint, vanilla, milk, maple syrup, tahini (if using), and spinach to a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Freeze it. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container and freeze for at least 24 hours.
- First spin. Let the pint sit out for 10–15 minutes. If a bump formed, smooth it out to protect your machine. Spin using the Lite Ice Cream setting.
- Add chocolate. After the first spin, the ice cream will be powdery. Make a well in the middle all the way to the bottom and add the chopped chocolate and a splash of plant-based milk and spin again on the Mix-In setting for that classic chip texture.
- Serve. Scoop and enjoy your cool, minty, secretly healthy treat!
