This Ninja Creami Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Recipe is smooth, creamy and full of real vanilla flavor. It is a simple homemade dessert that feels rich and special.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Mix the Base
- In a mixing bowl, add milk, heavy cream, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and vanilla bean paste. Whisk until sugar completely dissolves.
Check the Texture
- Make sure the mixture is smooth and well combined. No sugar grains should remain at the bottom of the bowl.
Fill the Container
- Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Do not overfill. Leave some space at the top for freezing expansion.
Freeze the Mixture
- Place the container in the freezer. Freeze for at least 24 hours. This step is very important for perfect texture.
Prepare for Churning
- Remove the frozen pint from the freezer. Let it sit for 5 minutes so it is not too hard for processing.
Process in Ninja Creami
- Place the pint into the Ninja Creami machine. Select the “Ice Cream” setting and let it churn until smooth.
Re-Spin if Needed
- If the texture looks crumbly, use the re-spin option. This makes the ice cream creamy and soft again.
Serve the Ice Cream
- Scoop into bowls and serve immediately. Enjoy the rich vanilla flavor and smooth texture.
Notes
- Use real vanilla bean for stronger flavor
- Add chocolate chips for crunch
- Mix in caramel for sweetness
- Use almond milk for lighter version
- Do not skip freezing time
- Re-spin for extra creaminess
