Apple Pie Ice Cream

Capture the classic American comfort food in this mouth-watering ice cream. An optional banana gives the recipe extra sweetness.

Ingredients

• ½ cup (120 ml) Apple Juice
• ¼ cup (60 g) almond yogurt
• 2 medium (360 g) apple, quartered, seeded
• ½ medium (60 g) banana, frozen
• 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 Tablespoons (40 g) date syrup [or honey]
• 3 cups (390 g) ice cubes

Directions

1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
2. Select the Frozen Dessert program. Start the blender and allow the program to complete, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades.
3. In about 30-60 seconds, the sound of the motor will change and four mounds should form. Stop the machine. Do not over mix or melting will occur. Serve immediately.

Notes

For an even bolder flavor, try roasting your apples until tender before blending them. This will remove some moisture and make for a creamier mixture, so you may need to adjust by using 1/2 cup to 1 cups less ice.
