Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Chill Mixture: Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible, to ensure it is thoroughly chilled.
- Prepare Ninja Creami: Remove the chilled mixture from the fridge and pour it into the Ninja Creami pint container. Make sure not to fill the container past the maximum fill line.
- Start the Ninja Creami: Secure the lid of the Ninja Creami and place the pint container inside the machine. Select the ‘Ice Cream’ function and start the machine.
- Process and Serve: Once the cycle is complete, check the consistency of the ice cream. If needed, run a ‘Re-spin’ cycle for a creamier texture. Serve immediately for soft serve consistency or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 2-3 hours for a firmer texture.
Notes
- For an extra rich flavor, you can substitute 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped, for the vanilla extract. Add it to the cream and milk when you heat them, then remove the bean before chilling.
- Make sure your Ninja Creami pint and blade assembly are clean and dry before use to prevent ice crystallization.
