Baby Plants!! She is so adorable. Happy to see her with mommy and daddy.
Aww thank you! 🥰 I love having her in the kitchen with me!
Finally someone with creami recipes that don't have jello pudding in them! I appreciate that you are using real ingredients and experimenting!
Aw yay! Glad you enjoyed! Yes I’m really loving experimenting with different combinations in it… seems the possibilities are endless!
The Ninja Creami has been such a fun addition to our kitchen this summer!😊
Wohoo! What has been your favorite recipe so far?
I am going to have to revisit your unboxing of the creami
My grand kids, who live next door, LOVE ice cream. You had me at, chocolate.
I have so little space in my lil,place.
I have just acquired a bread maker ( second hand, paid $8 for it. And a toaster oven. Appliances require SO much space!)
I burnt the kids out on the banana ice cream. Made with just ripe bananas frozen and peanut butter, maple syrup.
What a joy to see your happy family❤
How lovely they live so close!! 😃 The Ninja Creami is amazing!!! (The unboxing & review is here: ua-cam.com/video/zFAeZtPngvE/v-deo.htmlsi=WEUR4l8NlFd3fj-f) But I definitely understand the small space struggles. 😅 I am already struggling to fit it in my pantry/ office as it takes up too much space to be on the counter all year round. But I’m sure your grandkids would love having some more ice cream options. There are tons of recipes you can make in it! I’d keep an eye out for one 2nd hand as well! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Baby Plants is so adorable, loved seeing you and your husband with her...and oh yeah the ice cream looks good too.
Aww thank you! 🥰🥰
Soaking chickpeas in some Baking Soda Water really made my last batch of chickpeas super smooth and soft! Even my daughter who is very picky about texture LOVES these new chickpeas.
By the way, SO happy to see you back more often and you look so happy with your little one.
Great tip! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Will have to give that a go. I’ve heard that works well for making hummus too. And thank you! 😊
Ice Cream Tip: Adding too much Maple Syrup or any other sweetener it becomes softer faster. With Syrups I usually don't add more than a couple of Tablespoons because it can cause this issue.
Oh wow I didn’t know that! I’ll have to try it with granulated sugar and see if I notice a difference. 😊
The reverse is also true... People tend to undersweeten ice cream recipes and it messes with the chemistry and makes your ice cream hard and icy.
Also about the vanilla powder. I've used that bc it was called for in a recipe once, but it's pretty hard to find. I got mine from a brewery supply store, but I don't think that place still exists. I actually think the alcohol content is important to the vanilla in this case though, because that helps keep your ice cream softer. My mother used to add actual rum to her ice cream recipes, but real vanilla (like the Watkins brand which is what I tend to use) is probably fine. (My grandparents used to dribble Kahlua as a topping over ice cream but I don't think it had much to do with the chemistry of the ice cream.)
@@stiobhardgruamach1368 Very true for both of these things! I've heard that about alcohol, but haven't had a problem since using the Creami! And you can easily find the vanilla powder on Amazon. 😊 Too funny about your grandparents and Kahlua though! 😂😂
Wowww Ice Cream very delicious 😊
Indeed! 🙌🙌
The best ice cream recipe Ive ever seen is so much better and dependable than every other one ive come across that now I use it as a base for every recipe regardless of what flav im actually doing. It is from a 1975 cookbook and has just 6 ingredients: sugar, soymilk, (pure) vanilla, oil, salt, and lecithin (plus the ice and rock salt to run your machine, obviously). This recipe never fails.
Oh wow I'll have to look for that recipe to give it a try! Thanks for sharing that! I remember making ice cream with the ice and rock salt method as a kid... so fun!
Trifecta video - You and Baby and Q - Yay! I am so so excited for the Chickpea Pistachio. Definitely going to try that as soon as I can get pistachio butter. As always, love love love your videos. ..and to all check out Maddie's guide and that other video, she's done the work for us. Let eat plants!
Aww thanks John! 🥰🥰 Yay! Q took down the rest of the pint later that night. 😂 Hope you guys love it too.
Yay! I’m super excited to try these!!!! 🎉😊❤ thank you for all your hard work!
Woohoo! You are so welcome! 🥰🤗
Awww, look at beautiful baby plants 😍 and yes, you were right when you said she's daddy's double! 🥰
Right!? 😅😝
Hi Maddie, first of all I want to say it's lovely to see you again along with your family. Your baby is gorgeous 😍 I am awaiting my second grandson any day now. Lovely recipes to try, I had the creami for Christmas and love it.
Much love to you all from Spain ❤️
Aww thanks Jill! 🥰🥰 Wow 2nd grandbaby! How wonderful!! Oh yes it’s such a great machine isn’t it. 🤗
Ok few ingredients is the BEST
Makes it easy to prepare as well! 😉🤗
Been thinking about buying a creami. I've used sweet potato in chocolate ice cream and it worked really well, haven't tried tofu yet but you've inspired me!!!
It's an awesome machine! I've loved using it and only wish I had had more time to experiment with it this summer. Tofu makes a great base, but *especially* so in the Creami because of how you churn it right before eating it. So it breaks up any iciness!
your baby is so cute!!
Aww thank you! 🥰🥰
I be love how creative you are with the flavors! Very yummy!! 🍦
Aww thank you! I love the creativity too! It’s been so fun to be back experimenting in the kitchen. 🤗
Thx u
You’re welcome!
Looks really delicious. Thank you for sharing!
Can you feature air fryer recipes please if you have time. thank you very much!
You’re welcome! I don’t actually have an air fryer! My oven has an air fry function so I never thought to get one. 😅😅
@@LetsEatPlantsthank you!
Yummy 😋 vegan plant based ice cream. Thanks Maddie for sharing another awesome video with great ice cream recipes. Love 🥰 the video and love 💗 Maddie, ❤Q & ♥️Baby Plants.
Thanks David! 🤗🤗 Hope you're doing well too!
Don't have a Creami, would a regular ice cream maker work I wonder? They look amazingly delicious!
Yes, they should be fine! I have the Cuisinart and made the tofu ice cream in it last year. (And sweet potato ice creams in it the previous year!) The only thing I noticed for the difference between the two machines is that with the Creami you can always get a fresh churn if it’s gotten icy in the freezer. So with lower fat ice creams I noticed they can tend to get icy after a while in the freezer and that’s why I prefer it over the Cuisinart for these types of ice creams. However, letting them sit on the counter to soften before serving should do the trick! 😊😊
@@LetsEatPlants Good point! Thanks for the reply 😊
Wow! My mind is blown!!! Do you think canned chickpeas would work?
I knew it would be! 😝 Yes definitely. If you have a high speed blender, should be no problem. If not, I’d boil the chickpeas an extra 15 mins. or so (just in water) just to get them extra soft. 😊
Amazing video, can you make an ice cream out of peas
Glad you enjoyed! Definitely possible. 😅 You’d just need to add enough sweetener to cover the taste. I’d also recommend boiling them first for a while to soften them. 😊 I’d probably do a mint chip or pistachio since the base will already be green!
I have a renewed interest in my Ninja creami! I haven't been using it.
Woohoo! 😃🙌🏻🙌🏻 I wish I had used it more this summer, but we still have at least a month left of warm weather! 😊
Pistachio is also my favorite and I love chi peas ❤ can’t wait to try it 😊
Yay!! Enjoy! 🤗
Are the Great Value semi sweet chocolate chips vegan? Also, the Watkins caramel has alcohol in it, yet you mention a plus of using the vanilla powder. I really want to try the sweet potato caramel recipe. Any thoughts on alt caramel flavoring? Thanks for the great video.
They are! (At least the ones in Canada are! Haven’t double checked US) A follower turned me on to them when I shared that the Costco ones I used to buy are now sooo expensive! 😭 Great value are slightly cheaper. 😊
Yes the Watkins does have alcohol but the taste isn’t nearly as strong as in vanilla extract. Maybe because I’m using such a small amount? Not totally sure why but I can’t taste it at all. There are lots of brands though if you don’t want to use that one! Or you could add in date caramel for a similar whole food based flavoring. I’d purée about 6 softened dates with just enough plant milk to get it smooth and add that to the mix. Won’t be exactly the same but it might make a good sub! 😃
Me: "Oh! New ice cream video dropped."
Me again: 7:59 "BABY!!"
Me again again: 11:29 "HUSBAND AND BABY!! AH!"
Excellent video again. The weather is just "all over the place" here in the Midwest, so even though I don't have an ice cream maker, the process was a respite.
😂😂😂 LOVE this comment. 🥰 Yes I was hoping to get these recipes done at the *beginning* of summer, but it is what it is! I’ve been enjoying them with these last few weeks of hot weather at least. 😊
Have you tried the tofu in other flavors yet? I just ordered a case of the silken tofu from Amazon. 😊
@@SimplicityRocks Yes! Have made strawberry with it and it turned out great too. I think many flavors will work with it as it’s a pretty neutral base!
Please let us learn your meal prep secrets in your meal prep course 😉
Definitely! 😃🙌🏻🙌🏻
So cool🙂↕️🫘🍫🍪🍦
Thanks! 😃
