Ingredients
Scale
To make this Ninja Creami vanilla ice cream, you’ll need:
- 200g thickened cream (heavy cream or whipping cream)
- 150–200g sweetened condensed milk (choose based on sweetness preference)
- 100g full-fat milk
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla bean extract
Optional Substitutions:
- Use lactose-free dairy products for a low FODMAP version.
- Swap vanilla bean paste for vanilla powder or fresh vanilla pods for a deeper flavor.
Instructions
Step1: Prepare the Base
- Weigh all ingredients directly into your Ninja Creami tub.
- Mix thoroughly until the sweetened condensed milk is fully incorporated.
Step2: Freeze the Mixture
- Place the tub in the freezer without a lid.
- Freeze for 15-24 hours, depending on your freezer’s temperature.
Step3: Process the Ice Cream
- Attach the tub to the Ninja Creami machine and select the ice cream setting.
- If the mixture looks crumbly after the first spin, spin it again for a creamier texture.
Step4: Serve and Enjoy
- Enjoy as is or add your favorite mix-ins for a personalized treat.
- For leftovers, re-spin the ice cream when you’re ready to serve again.
Notes
- Sweetness Control: For a less sweet ice cream, use 150g sweetened condensed milk instead of 200g.
- Texture Enhancements: Adding a pinch of salt or xanthan gum can improve consistency.
- Mix-Ins Advice: Add mix-ins like chocolate chips or cookies after scooping to maintain their flavor and texture.
