Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1.5 cups low fat milk
- 2 tablespoons half and half
- 1 tablespoon vanilla instant pudding mix
- 1 teaspoon white granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Re-Spin
- 1-2 tablespoons liquid (half and half or milk)
Optional Mix-Ins
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Base in Pint Container: Combine low fat milk, half and half, vanilla instant pudding mix, sugar, and vanilla extract thoroughly in the Ninja Creami pint container. Using a milk frother is recommended for a smooth mix, but a whisk or fork can also be used.
- Freeze: Place the filled pint container in the freezer on a level surface for 24 hours without the lid to ensure the mixture is completely solid and to prevent a peak formation.
- Prep for Blending: Remove the frozen pint from the freezer. If there is a peak of ice cream in the center, scrape it off with a spoon for consistent blending.
- Blend: Insert the pint container into the Ninja Creami outer bowl, secure the lid, and lock it in position. Use the ‘Lite Ice-Cream’ setting to blend the mixture into a soft serve consistency.
- Add Liquid and Re-Spin: Create a small well in the center of the ice cream, pour in 1-2 tablespoons of half and half or milk, and re-spin on the same ‘Lite Ice-Cream’ setting to improve creaminess.
- Optional Mix-Ins: If desired, dig a well in the center again and add sprinkles or other mix-ins. Blend on the ‘Mix-Ins’ setting to evenly distribute the additions.
- Enjoy: After the final spin, your soft serve will be thick, creamy, and ready to savor!
