PB Fit powder and Navy Bean Ninja Creami Ice Cream

Sort of similar to my Baked Beans dessert idea, I found a navy bean, peanut butter ice cream recipe I like on Reddit,   

https://www.reddit.com/r/ninjacreami/comments/1mnmc0b/peanut_butter_vegan_no_protein_powder_ice_cream/ 

 I usually make the 3 pints at a time and pour the mix into Souper silicone freeze trays, https://a.co/d/0eJajSwZ.      Each tray holds about 1 pint worth in 1/2 cup portions.   After freezing, I just pop out a 1/2 cup portion, and use my microwave's timed defrost for a couple minutes.     I think the beans add too much water and it freezes too hard to work well in a ninja creami machine.

Tastes great for healthy ice cream, but what I like is that it's filling due to the bean fiber.  

First time I made it, I should have let the beans drain & dry more after cooking them.    Excess water in the ice cream mix makes it hard for the frozen pint jar to thaw enough to mix in the Ninja Creami.   

So strain the navy beans and then dump the beans onto a paper towel covered baking sheet.   Spread the cooked beans out and let them air dry some.   I like using this usb battery powered fan to help the air drying https://a.co/d/6HnDaE3.    I also use the fan when making my sushi rice cheat meal too.    Dry the beans as much as possible before blending with the other ingredients using a blender.  Let the blended mix settle if it aerated.    Pour mix evenly into pint jars, don't exceed max fill line

Rewrote it below and upscaled it so I can use an entire pudding packet at once.   You'll need 3 pint jars though, don't overfill them.

You can buy PB Fit Peanut Powder on amazon if your grocery store doesn't carry it, https://a.co/d/hA6tWuK
