💗 Ninja Creami Strawberry Ice Cream
- Using fresh strawberries gives it a vibrant strawberry flavor that you won't find in store-bought ice creams.
- It has a smooth and creamy ice cream base. This recipe does not contain cream cheese, which I find leaves a film on the roof of my mouth.
- Made from fresh ingredients, there are no artificial flavors or colors.
- Thanks to the Ninja Creami ice cream maker, it is easy to make your favorite ice cream at home.
🍓 Ingredients + Substitutions
This recipe requires only five basic ingredients, all of which can be found at your local grocery store.

- Strawberries. I used fresh strawberries, but you can also use frozen strawberries.
- Heavy whipping cream. For a lighter ice cream, use half-and-half instead. Unsweetened coconut cream can also be used if you prefer a non-dairy alternative.
- Whole milk. If you want to reduce the fat content, you can use lower-fat milk, almond milk, or coconut milk.
- Powdered sugar. I use powdered sugar as it dissolves easily without adding any graininess. If you prefer, you can use honey, monk fruit sweetener, or raw agave nectar instead.
- Vanilla extract. You can also use vanilla bean paste.

🍨 How To Make Ninja Creami Strawberry Ice Cream
This recipe makes one pint of ice cream.
Wash and hull the strawberries, then chop them into smaller pieces.
In a measuring glass or Ninja Creami pint jar, combine the heavy whipping cream, whole milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Stir the mixture with a whisk or fork until the powdered sugar is fully dissolved and all the ingredients are combined.


Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint jar, making sure not to exceed the MAX FILL line. Add the chopped strawberries to the mixture and gently stir to incorporate.


Securely attach the plastic lid on the pint jar. Place the pint jar in the freezer on a level surface and let it freeze for at least 24 hours.
After the 24-hour freezing period, remove the pint jar from the freezer and remove the lid.


Place the pint container in the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami ice cream machine. Lock the outer bowl lid and place bowl assembly onto the Ninja Creami motor base. Turn the handle to the right to raise the platform and lock it in place.
Select "Ice Cream" on the Ninja Creami control panel and let the machine work its magic. In just a couple of minutes, you'll have creamy strawberry ice cream.
Remove the pint jar from the machine. If the resulting ice cream looks a little dry or crumbly after the first spin, reattach the lid and select the RE-SPIN function on the control panel to process the mixture again. This will give it a chance to reach the perfect consistency.

Once the ice cream has reached its creamy texture, it's time to serve! Grab your favorite ice cream scoop and dig into the pint of homemade strawberry ice cream.

You can enjoy it as is - scoop the strawberry ice cream into bowls or cones - or get creative by adding mix-ins like white chocolate chips.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing and creamy Ninja Creami Strawberry Ice Cream!
Top Tip
Feel free to customize the recipe by adding mix-ins such as chocolate chips, crushed cookies, or chopped nuts. Simply add them after churning when the ice cream is soft enough to stir and press the "MIX-IN" button on the Ninja Creami machine.

🍨 Serving Suggestions

💭 Expert Tips
- Slice the strawberries into small pieces or mash them slightly to release their juices.
- Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easy churning.
- If the ice cream looks dry or crumbly, add a tablespoon of heavy cream and RE-SPIN.
❓ Recipe FAQs
