Servings: 2 servings
Equipment
- Ninja Creami Ice Cream Machine
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cup 2% milk
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 2 tbsp vanilla pudding mix
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to the Ninja Creami pint container and mix thoroughly. *I recommend taste testing at this step to make sure that your mixture is sweet enough for you. If needed, add 1-2 tsp of additional sweetener like table sugar, honey or syrup.
- Cover with lid and freeze for 24 hours on a level surface.
- Run lite ice cream mode x1. Scrape down the sides of the pint container with a spoon.
- Run respin mode x2. If the mixture is still crumbly at this point add a very small splash of milk and spin a final time.
Notes
- Freeze the base for at least 24 hours. A fully frozen pint is essential for the best texture. Spinning it too early can result in a soft, slushy consistency.
- If the ice cream looks crumbly after the first spin, don't worry. Run the Re-Spin cycle twice before adding any milk. If it's still crumbly, add a small splash of milk and Re-Spin again.
- Taste the base before freezing. If you prefer a sweeter vanilla ice cream, stir in 1–2 teaspoons of honey, maple syrup, or sugar before freezing.
- No vanilla bean paste? Vanilla extract works well too, though you'll miss the vanilla bean specks.
