Description
A simple and creamy homemade ice cream recipe using the Ninja Creami machine, made with basic ingredients like whole milk, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste)
- Optional: fresh strawberries, chocolate syrup, peanut butter, or other mix-ins
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl or blender, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and the sugar is dissolved.
- Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, making sure not to exceed the max fill line.
- Place the lid on the container and freeze it on a level surface for 24 hours.
- After freezing, remove the container from the freezer and insert it into the Ninja Creami machine.
- Choose the ‘Ice Cream’ function and let it spin.
- If the texture is too crumbly, use the ‘Re-spin’ function until smooth and creamy.
- Add any desired mix-ins (like chopped fruit or chocolate chips) and use the ‘Mix-in’ function to incorporate them.
- Serve immediately or refreeze for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Ensure the mixture is fully blended and smooth before freezing.
- Always freeze the base for a full 24 hours before spinning.
- Re-spinning can help improve creaminess if the first spin is crumbly.
- Customize the flavor with your favorite mix-ins or extracts.
