Tart Cherry Ninja Creami Ice Cream
If you're anything like me, dessert is non-negotiable—even on the nights I'm trying to prioritize better sleep. Enter this Tart Cherry Ninja Creami: a creamy, dreamy frozen treat that satisfies your sweet tooth while featuring ingredients associated with healthy sleep habits! Ultra creamy cherry ice cream is topped with a dark chocolate shell for the ultimate dairy, gluten, and refined-sugar free treat!
Ingredients
Ice cream
- 1 cup frozen tart cherries *or regular cherries
- 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk *shake the can, then measure!
- 1/2 cup coconut yogurt or greek yogurt
- 1 scoop vanilla beef isolate protein powder *see notes for subs
- 3-4 tbsp honey, maple syrup, or monk fruit
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
Chocolate shell
- 3 tbsp chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Add the tart cherry juice, coconut milk, vanilla, sweetener, and sea salt to a blender. Blend until smooth and fully combined. Pour the mixture into two Ninja Creami pint containers. Freeze on a level surface overnight.
- Insert the frozen pint into the Ninja Creami and process using the Ice Cream or Lite Ice Cream setting.
- Use a knife to scrape around the edges. I like to add 1 tablespoon of milk or tart cherry juice and process again using the Re-Spin function. Add your mix-ins and spin it on the "mix-ins" function.
- In a small bowl, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt until smooth and creamy. Pour over the ice cream. It'll turn into a magic shell (or you can pop it back in the freezer for a couple minutes for a super firm shell!). Enjoy!

Notes
Vanilla beef isolate protein powder: You can use other proteins, however, I highly recommend using a beef isolate. This is the secret sauce to the creamiest, thickest creami's! I highly recommend Equip. You can use code "danibreiner" for a discount!
