Sometimes, the simplest things can bring the most joy. Take peanut butter ice cream, for example. It’s a flavor that needs no introduction. Just pure, creamy goodness that will satisfy any dessert lover’s cravings.
But what if you have a nut allergy? Can you still enjoy the heavenly taste of peanut butter? The answer is yes! With some clever substitutions, you can create a nut-free version of this classic treat that is just as delicious.
Making Nut-Free Peanut Butter Ice Cream
To make nut-free peanut butter ice cream, all you need is some soy or sunflower butter. These alternatives have a similar consistency to peanut butter and will give you that same familiar flavor. So, even if you have a nut allergy, you don’t have to miss out on the joy of peanut butter ice cream.
Tips for Using the Ninja Creami
If you’re new to using the Ninja Creami, don’t worry. We’ve got you covered with some helpful tips and tricks that will make your ice cream-making journey a breeze.
Can I Make Nut-Free Peanut Butter Ice Cream?
Absolutely! Just substitute soy or sunflower butter for peanut butter in a 1:1 ratio. We used soy butter, and it turned out amazing. You won’t even miss the peanuts!
Where Can I Find Soy or Sunflower Butter?
Most local grocery stores should carry soy or sunflower butter. We found soy butter (such as Wow Butter) at grocery stores, while sunflower butter is available at many stores, including Target.
Do I Need to Mix the Ice Cream Again After Freezing?
Surprisingly, no! When using oat milk and cream of coconut instead of the typical base ingredients, the ice cream retains its creamy texture even after freezing. So feel free to enjoy it straight from the freezer without the need for re-spinning!
Which Button Should I Use to Spin My Ice Cream?
It all depends on the consistency you prefer. For thicker concoctions like ice cream, the ice cream button is your best bet. If you’re making a gelato with eggs, use the gelato button. And for fruit mixtures, like a pineapple sorbet, the sorbet button will work wonders. Experiment with the buttons to find your perfect ice cream consistency!
