Sweet Potato Apple Pie Ice Cream
Description
A super-easy and healthy dessert you can make in minutes!
Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream
- 3 bananas, cut into chunks and frozen
- 1 sweet apple (I use Honeycrisp), cored, cut into chunks and frozen
- 1 cup roasted sweet potato, cut into chunks and frozen
- 5 dates, chopped and soaked in water for about 15 minutes; drained
- 1 cup non-dairy milk (I use soy)
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. cardamom
- 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
- pinch allspice
Streusel
- 4 Tbsp. rolled oats
- 4 Tbsp. chopped pecans
- 3 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
Instructions
Make the streusel
- In a small pan, lightly toast the rolled oats and the pecans. Remove from the heat and put into a small bowl. Stir in the maple syrup. Set aside until ready to use.
Make the ice cream
- Combine all of the ice cream ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and process until very smooth and creamy. This requires some patience and much stirring with a spatula to move the frozen chunks around. It will eventually become soft and silky.
- Divide ice cream into bowls and top generously with streusel. Consume immediately!

That’s a lovely blog. Yeehaw!
It is! Kayle’s an amazing lady. One can’t help but YEEHAW, right ;-)?
Yeehaw! And yum!
🙂
I’m definitely going to try that recipe out. I think my Hubbin’ will love it!
So easy! It’s amazing how close it comes to “real” ice cream.
Aah that looks amazing! You’d think the cold weather would have me wanting only warm things, but there’s something about ice cream on a chilly evening that’s just decadent.
If I’m feeling REALLY decadent, I have ice cream AND hot chocolate… That’s living ;-).
ooooooh… headed for the cowgirls place stat…
🙂
it’s a rabbithole of awesomeness… just fell deeper and landed at the kris carr site…
I know – good stuff!
Boy Howdy – only way to make sweet potatoes and/or apple pie better is to put them in ice cream!
Add pie crust on top and I could die happy.
That is a sweet and spicy bowl of yum! I want a scoop to live on my morning waffles please. 🙂
Kayle sounds superamazing…so lucky that you met! Thanks for the recipe and the link to her blog. Cheers!
I just read the guest post! That is one beautiful ice cream Annie! I have used sweet potato just one time in my chocolate peppermint ice cream. It really does work to add sweetness. I love your take on these flavors of apple pie and turning it into ice cream! Delish!
I was pleasantly surprised by the frozen apple. I thought it might get funky, but it worked great. Thanks!
Unreal…I need a vat of this STAT!
Oh goodness! Thanks for sharing Annie!!! My mouth watered when I read this. 🙂
Oooo, that sounds like an amazing combo!
I love Cowgirls and Collard Greens, I’m a follower! Anywho, this ice cream looks heavenly!! Celeste 🙂
Oh my goodness, say no more! This looks incredible. Love the thought of a bit of crunchiness on top of smooth, creaminess. Heading over there right meow!
