Ingredients
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 100g of feta
- 100 ml of full liquid cream
- 50 ml of whole milk (or plant-based milk, according to your preference)
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- A few basil or mint leaves (optional, for a touch of freshness)
Preparation
- Prepare the pepper.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the whole pepper on a baking sheet and roast it for about 20 minutes, turning it halfway through, until the skin is slightly charred and the pepper is tender. Remove it from the oven, let it cool, then peel it and remove the seeds. - Blend everything together.
In a blender, combine the roasted bell pepper with the feta, cream, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. For an extra touch of freshness, add a few basil or mint leaves. - Freezing with the Ninja Creami:
Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami container, being careful not to exceed the MAX FILL . Cover and place the container in the freezer for 24 hours to allow the mixture to set completely. - Churn the ice cream.
Once the mixture is completely frozen, insert the container into the Ninja Creami and select the Ice Cream for a creamy texture. If the ice cream is too firm, use the Respin to adjust the consistency.
