Ice Cream Base

• 1 cup peeled, chopped cucumber (seeded if large)

• Zest of ½ lime
• ¼ cup honey or agave syrup
• ¼ cup fresh mint leaves, lightly packed
• Pinch of sea salt

Optional Garnish

🥥 Coconut milk gives this ice cream a creamy base that’s still light—perfect for a hydrating summer scoop.

📌 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Blend the Base

In a high-speed blender, combine cucumber, coconut milk, almond milk, lime juice and zest, honey, mint leaves, and salt. Blend until very smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Pour into a Ninja Creami pint container and freeze for 24 hours.

2️⃣ Spin It

Remove the frozen pint and insert into your Ninja Creami. Run the Sorbet or Lite Ice Cream setting. Scrape the sides and Respin once or twice until smooth and creamy.

3️⃣ Serve Cold & Fresh

Scoop into bowls and top with a few mint leaves, lime zest, or a paper-thin cucumber slice curled on top. Best served immediately for peak creaminess and freshness.

🌿 For a mocktail twist, pour a splash of sparkling lime water over your scoop!

🌿 Tips & Variations

✅ Add a splash of rum extract for a true mojito vibe
✅ Make it extra citrusy with lemon balm or lemon verbena
