This Ninja Creami Vanilla Ice Cream recipe creates perfectly smooth, creamy ice cream with just four simple ingredients! No cooking required - just mix, freeze, and churn!
Combine the heavy whipping cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar in the Ninja Creami pint jar. Mix the ingredients with a whisk or milk frother until the powdered sugar fully dissolves. Tip:Ensure the ingredients don't exceed the MAX FILL line. Once the ingredients are well-mixed, secure the plastic lid tightly on the pint jar.
Place the pint jar in the freezer on a level surface. 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 and lock on the outer bowl lid. Place the bowl assembly onto the Ninja Creami motor base and turn the handle to the right to raise the platform and lock it in place. Press the "Ice Cream" button on the Ninja Creami control panel. Let the machine churn the ice cream, which takes about 2 minutes. Tip: The ice cream may look crumbly if your freezer is set to a very cold temperature. If this occurs, add a tablespoon of milk and select the RE-SPIN function on the Ninja Creami control panel to process the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. Once the ice cream is done churning, turn off the Ninja Creami, and remove the pint jar from the machine.
Scoop up the ice cream with an ice cream scoop and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
The pint container must stay level while freezing.
Let sit 1-2 minutes at room temperature before churning.
Use the "Re-Spin" function if needed for a smoother texture.
Add mix-ins after the first spin using the "Mix-In" function.
