Ninja Creami Vanilla Ice Cream
This easy Ninja Creami Vanilla Ice Cream is rich and creamy with just 3 ingredients and no heavy cream or cream cheese. Mix the base in minutes, freeze for 24 hours, then spin for an easy homemade ice cream.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups half & half
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix the base. Add the half-and-half, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract to a Ninja Creami pint container. Stir until completely combined.
- Freeze. Make sure the mixture is below the MAX FILL line. Cover the pint and freeze on a flat, level surface for at least 24 hours.
- Process. Remove the lid and place the frozen pint into the Ninja Creami outer bowl. Lock it into the machine and process using the Ice Cream setting.
- Check the texture. If the ice cream is smooth and creamy, it's ready to serve.
- Re-Spin if needed. If the ice cream looks dry, powdery, crumbly, or too firm, add a small splash of milk and process again using the Re-Spin setting.
- Serve. Enjoy immediately for the best texture.
Notes
- Freeze the pint flat. Keep the container on a level surface so the base freezes evenly.
- Stay below the MAX FILL line. This recipe fits comfortably in a standard Ninja Creami pint.
- Don't process an uneven frozen pint. If the surface freezes unevenly, level the base and refreeze it flat before processing.
- Re-Spin only if needed. If the first spin is crumbly or powdery, add a small splash of milk and use Re-Spin. If it's already creamy, serve it as-is.
- For mix-ins, add cookies, candy, or chocolate chips after the first spin and use the Mix-In setting.
- For leftovers, smooth the top flat before refreezing, then use the Ice Cream setting again once fully frozen.
- For the Ninja Creami Deluxe, increase the recipe by 1.5x if you want to fill the larger container.
