Equipment

  • Ninja Creami machine
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mixing bowls
  • Airtight container

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami container. Ensure you don’t overfill; leave a little room for expansion.
  • Place the container in the freezer and freeze for at least 1–2 hours, or until the mixture is solid.
  • Once frozen, load the container into the Ninja Creami machine and select the "Ice Cream" setting.
  • After the machine has completed the cycle, scoop the creamy ice cream into bowls or cones and serve immediately. If you'd like a firmer consistency, return the ice cream to the freezer for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat ingredients – For the creamiest, most indulgent texture, don’t skimp on the heavy cream and whole milk.
  • Freeze the mixture thoroughly – Make sure the mixture is completely frozen before using the Ninja Creami. If it’s not solid enough, the machine won’t be able to process it correctly.
  • Chill the Ninja Creami container – Before pouring in the ice cream base, chill the container in the freezer to ensure it works more efficiently.
  • Customize the flavor – Feel free to swap out vanilla extract for other flavorings like almond, peppermint, or fruit extracts. You can also add mix-ins (chocolate chips, crushed cookies, etc.) after processing the base.
  • Allow for slight thawing – If your ice cream turns out a little too firm, let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly before serving.
