Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups half-and-half: Creates a rich, creamy base. Whole milk is a lighter alternative.
- 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato: Naturally sweet and smooth—make sure it’s mashed well!
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk: Adds sweetness and helps prevent iciness.
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon: Warm, classic spice for that pie flavor.
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg: A hint of cozy spice to elevate the flavor.
- ¼ teaspoon salt: Balances out the sweetness and spices.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Rounds out the flavor with a sweet depth.
Optional Add-Ons
- Chopped pecans or walnuts: Adds a nutty crunch reminiscent of pie topping.
- Marshmallow fluff: Swirl it in for a sweet surprise!
- Graham cracker crumbs: For a “crust” feel in every scoop.
Substitutions and Shortcuts
- Half-and-half: Can be replaced with a mix of milk and cream or coconut milk for dairy-free.
- Sweet potato: Canned sweet potatoes work in a pinch; just drain and mash well.
- Sweetened condensed milk: Sugar-free versions are available or can be homemade.
Instructions
- Blend It Up: In a blender or food processor, combine mashed sweet potato, sweetened condensed milk, half-and-half, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Blend until completely smooth and aromatic.
- Freeze: Pour the blended mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, leaving room at the top. Freeze for at least 24 hours.
- Process: Insert the frozen pint into the Ninja Creami and run the “Ice Cream” setting. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Scoop into bowls or cones and top with your favorite add-ons like chopped nuts, graham cracker crumbs, or a swirl of marshmallow fluff.
Notes
- Texture Tip: For a smoother result, ensure the sweet potato is mashed very finely before blending.
- Flavor Boost: Add a touch of maple syrup or brown sugar if you prefer a sweeter result.
- Storage: Store leftovers in the Ninja Creami pint in the freezer. Use the “Respin” function to refresh texture before serving again.
