If you’ve ever bought way too many sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving (hi, it’s me), this Ninja Creami Sweet Potato Pie Ice Cream is the most delicious way to use them up.
After making sweet potato casserole… and then a batch of sweet potato wedges… I still had a mountain left. So into the Creami they went — and the result tastes like a cozy slice of sweet potato pie blended into cold. The kind you eat straight from the pint without shame.
