Ingredients List

Here’s a versatile base recipe for Ninja Creami Deluxe ice cream, with options for customization:

Classic Vanilla Ice Cream

• 1 ½ cups whole milk (or almond/coconut milk for dairy-free)
• 1 cup heavy cream (or full-fat coconut cream for vegan)
• ½ cup granulated sugar (or monk fruit sweetener for low-carb)
• 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
• Pinch of sea salt

Optional Mix-ins & Variations:

• Chocolate Chip: Add ¼ cup mini chocolate chips after processing
• Strawberry Swirl: Blend in ½ cup fresh strawberry puree
• Cookies & Cream: Crush 4 Oreos and mix in after spinning
• Protein Ice Cream: Replace sugar with 1 scoop vanilla protein powder

Pro Tip: For a smoother texture, ensure all ingredients are well-blended before freezing.

Timing

• Prep Time: 5 minutes
• Freezing Time: 24 hours (essential for the right consistency)
• Processing Time: 2-3 minutes per cycle (1-2 spins for perfect creaminess)
• Total Time: 24 hours 10 minutes (mostly hands-off!)

Did you know? The Ninja Creami Deluxe cuts blending time by 30% compared to traditional ice cream makers.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Mix Your Base

Whisk together milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, and salt until fully dissolved. For richer texture, heat the mixture slightly (do not boil).

Step 2: Freeze Overnight

Pour into a Ninja Creami Deluxe pint container, leaving ½-inch headspace. Freeze for 24 hours for optimal results.

Step 3: Process in the Ninja Creami Deluxe

1. Place the frozen pint into the machine.
2. Select “Ice Cream” (or “Sorbet”/”Lite Ice Cream” for lighter options).
3. Run 1-2 cycles until creamy.
4. For mix-ins, use the “Mix-In” function after the first spin.

Chef’s Tip: If the mixture is too crumbly, add 1 tbsp of milk and respin.

3. Can I make dairy-free sorbet?

Absolutely! Blend frozen fruit + a little juice for a refreshing sorbet.
