Ninja Creami Vanilla Ice Cream
Rich and creamy Ninja Creami vanilla ice cream made with lighter ingredients, but just as delicious as traditional ice cream.
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
- Get the texture right. If the ice cream mixture is still crumbly after running it on respin mode, add a tiny splash of milk and spin again. Repeat as needed.
- Taste as you go. Taste preferences vary, and while I think this ice cream is sweet enough as is, I encourage you to taste it before freezing. You can add 1-2 tsp of honey, maple syrup, or sugar if you'd like.
- Don't skimp on freezing time. The ice cream base needs at least 24 hours in the freezer before you run it through the Ninja Creami...unless you want a runny, slushy-like ice cream.
