Dole (copycat) Pineapple Whip in Creami

My recipe uses no vanilla:

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cup canned or fresh pineapple

1/3 cup pineapple juice

1/2 cup milk of choice, more if needed for re-spin

INSTRUCTIONS

Blend all the ingredients in the regular blender and pour into your Ninja Creami container. Close the lid and freeze for 24 hours.

Pull the container out of freezer. Turn Ninja Creami on. Install the container until it snaps in place. Push the sorbet button.

After the machine stops, open the lid and stir the dole whip. If the mixture is not creamy but crumbly, add a splash of milk and push a re-spin button. (Sometimes simply re-spinning works w/o adding more liquid.)

Scoop it to the bowl and enjoy!

Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies⁷

Ingredients
Cookie
¾ cup rolled oats organic
¾ cup almond flour
¾ cup deglet dates or medjool
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 tbsp tahini
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp baking powder
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp peppermint extract
2 tbsp water
Date paste layer
½ cup dates
2-4 tbsp water

Chocolate Coating
1 ½ cup unsweetened chocolate chips or date sweetened
1 tsp peppermint extract

Instructions

Cookie
Preheat oven to 350°F.
*Add the oats, almond flour and dates to food processor and blend until small crumb.
*Add remaining cookie ingredients except for the water. Drizzle in the water slowly once the mixture is well blended.
*Stop mixing once mixture starts to clump together.
*Roll the mixture out between 2 pieces of parchment paper very thin.
*Cut cookies out with a 2 inch round cookie cutter and place them on a parchment lined baking tray.
*Bake for 17 minutes and let cool completely before assembling.

Date paste layer
*Blend the dates and water until it turns into a spreadable paste.

Chocolate Coating
*Melt the chocolate in a double boiler.
*Stir in the peppermint extract once the chocolate is completely melted and off of the heat.

Assembly
*Once cookies are completely cool, spread on a layer of date paste.
*Dip cookies in melted chocolate mixture being sure to shake off the excess and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
*Place cookie sheet with finished cookies in the fridge or freezer until the chocolate coating is completely solid.
*Store cookies in fridge in an airtight container.

Notes
For the date paste it is easier to make a double recipe because it is difficult to blend that small of an amount and then store the extra in the fridge to use for other recipes.

Cookie Dough Ice Cream / Vegan & Low Calorie

Viewer’s Cmmt: “Rinsed and drained chickpeas, frozen cauliflower, frozen banana chunks, pitted dates, vanilla, nut butter [nope, I say it’s miso paste], PB powder and milk (she probably used almond, oat or soy milk) Blend until smooth. Topped it with crushed rice cake and possibly some kind of chocolate powder or you can melt chocolate chips and drizzle on top. Don’t know the exact measurements so will have to play around with it.”
