If you love sweet potato pie or sweet potato casserole, you’ll love this Ninja Creami Sweet Potato ice cream. This recipe features fresh roasted sweet potatoes, hints of warm spices, and fluffy marshmallow flavor with a smooth creamy texture.
Flavoring
This sweet potato ice cream was inspired by my awesome sweet potato pie recipe and uses a lot of the same ingredients. To really bring out the flavor and sweetness of the sweet potatoes, I roast them in the oven for 45 minutes until the caramelized sugar begins to pour out of the tiny puncture holes.
I also use a traditional pumpkin pie spice blend, vanilla bean paste, and just a touch of marshmallow fluff.
Pro Tip: Marshmallow fluff is only 45 calories for 2 tablespoons and makes a great topping when mixed with a little milk!
Stabilizers
All Ninja Creami ice creams need ingredients to stabilize the mixture and make it nice and creamy (not icy). This is especially true if you are using low-fat ingredients. This ice cream, however, is naturally creamy from the sweet potatoes, so there is no need to add anything extra besides some low-fat milk.
Sweetener
This Ninja Creami sweet potato ice cream is unique as I use two whole dates and re-spin with a little molasses to really bring out that sweet potato pie flavor. Molasses is the secret ingredient in my sweet potato pie. I also add monk fruit sweetener to reduce the amount of sugar and calories.
Alternatives
- You can make this recipe using any type of sweetener.
- If you do not have fresh sweet potatoes, you can use canned yams. They are naturally in syrup so you do not need at add extra sugar or monk fruit.
Tips & Tricks
- My biggest tip is to add the molasses during your re-spin. This will significantly reduce the amount of sugar needed in the recipe and will keep the flavors nice and rich.
- Your mixture will likely be powdery after the first spin. Just add 1 tbsp of your milk and respin.
