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

• ¼ cup (600 ml) Apple Juice
• 2 Tablespoons (30 g) almond yogurt
• 1 medium (180 g) apple, quartered, seeded
• ¼ medium (30 g) banana, frozen
• ½ Tablespoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 Tablespoon (20 g) date syrup [or honey]
• 1 cups (195 g) ice cubes

Directions

1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
2. Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades while processing.
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 apple until tender before blending it. This will remove some moisture and make for a creamier mixture, so you may need to adjust by using 1/2 cup less ice.
