Ninja Creami Is For Devotees of the Homemade Ice Cream, Gelato & Sorbet Game In a day or two, you are going to have different creamy frozen treats and they will be all yours. In this post, we will guide you on how to make five of the bestselling Ninja Creami recipes using easy-to-understand language and step-by-step instructions.
1. Classic Vanilla Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Sugar Mixing: In a bowl whisk whole milk and sugar until it is dissolved. This is important as sugar helps maintain a creamy texture in your ice creams so make sure the sugar granules are completely dissolved.
- Stir in Cream and Vanilla: When all of the sugar has melted, stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract. Heavy cream makes the ice cream super rich, and vanilla is just classic.
- Pod in Freezer: Pour the mixture into the bowl of a Ninja Creami or pour it directly from 1-to-2-and-catch-it into minutes straight out of blender on Penguin setup (uhm, your call), then seal pod and freeze overnight. It is very important that you freeze this time, for the mixture to become solid.
- Poured into the ninja creami: Pour contents in a prepared freezing container and place it to freeze. Churn according to manufacturer’s instructions for about 25-30 minutes or until mixture has the consistency of soft serve ice cream.
Why This Works: Because it’s a simple, yet powerful recipe. It contains to have rich and velvety base of milk, cream & vanilla(which’s a staple in my book — I can never tire from this classic flavour)
2. Strawberry Cheesecake Gelato
Ingredients
- 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries, hulled
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ Cup of cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- To Make the Strawberry Puree: Add whole fresh strawberries and sugar to a blender. Blend until pureed. Which makes for a sweet, fruity foundation to the gelato.
- Whisk Up the Dairy: Whisk together your milk, heavy cream and softened up (microwave it for 20 seconds until easy to soften) cream cheese in a bowl so that they are nice and smooth. It melts right in and adds a subtle cheesecake mouthfeel to the gelato.
- Add to layering: Stir in strawberry and lemon juice into the container with the dairy. Add combined mixture to the pint container then freeze for 24 hours.
- In a Ninja Creami: Freeze the cream cheese mixture, then process as directed in a Ninja Creami. The result is a swirled cheese straw like effect, creating the renderer flavors appearing smooth and creamy against their fruit foil.
Why It Works: The strawberries and cream cheese together have the most wonderful, soft yet creamy texture with a combination of sweetness from one end to tanginess at another last note — which makes it all SO reminiscing a strawberry cheesecake.
3. Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

- Aftee the Freeze, put together those pieces in Ninja Creami and add chocolate chips. When creamy, add the mini chocolate chips and mix to combine — this provides a bit of texture + tastes rich in that chocolaty way.

Key Tips for Success

FAQs
1. How long should the blend chill before going into Ninja Creami?
You need to freeze the mixture for a minimum of 24 hours. This stops the mixture from freezing completely and being unable to later be churned into an Ice Cream.
2. Is it possible to use different sweeteners as a replacement for granulated sugar?
Alternatively, you could sweeten the coconut flour biscuits with honey or agave syrup…or maybe try a calorie-free sugar substitute instead. However, be mindful of the fact that not all sweeteners will give you similar texture and sweetness!
3. My ice cream is too hard/soft after processing — oh no!

4. Are extras like nuts or fruit added to your ice cream?
