Description
This Ninja Creami Earl Grey Tea Ice Cream is a sophisticated, dairy-free frozen treat infused with the floral citrus notes of Earl Grey tea and sweetened naturally with monk fruit. Creamy, refreshing, and subtly elegant!
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups soy milk: Creamy and plant-based, it’s the base of the ice cream.
- 4 Earl Grey tea bags: Infuses the ice cream with bold, aromatic bergamot flavor.
- 6 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener: A natural, low-calorie sweetener that dissolves easily.
Optional Add-Ons
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Adds comforting warmth and depth.
- Crushed dark chocolate or chocolate chips: For a touch of texture and indulgence.
- Citrus zest: Lemon or orange zest enhances the bergamot flavor.
Substitutions and Shortcuts
- Soy milk: Substitute with almond or oat milk, though flavors may vary.
- Monk fruit sweetener: Replace with agave syrup or honey, adjusting for sweetness.
Instructions
- Steep the Tea: Heat soy milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the Earl Grey tea bags and steep for 5–10 minutes. Remove the tea bags and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- Sweeten It: Stir in monk fruit sweetener while the mixture is still slightly warm to help it dissolve completely.
- Freeze It: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Level the top and freeze flat for at least 24 hours.
- Spin It: After freezing, place the pint in the Ninja Creami and run the “Lite Ice Cream” cycle.
- Respin (If Needed): If the texture is crumbly, add 1–2 tablespoons of soy milk and respin until creamy.
- Serve: Enjoy your homemade Earl Grey tea ice cream immediately. Optionally, stir in chocolate chips or zest before serving.
Notes
- Flavor Tip: Don’t steep too long—over-steeping can make the tea taste bitter.
- Sweetener: You can adjust the monk fruit sweetener to taste after steeping, before freezing.
- Storage: Keep leftovers frozen in the Ninja Creami pint and respin before serving again for best texture.
