  • Yield: This recipe makes approximately 1 quart of ice cream, serving 8 people (1/2 cup serving size).

Description

This creamy and classic vanilla ice cream is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a family gathering, a summer treat, or a cozy dessert at home. Enjoy your Ninja Creami-made ice cream with your favorite toppings or simply on its own!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
