Easy Vanilla Ninja Creami Ice Cream
This Vanilla Ninja Creami Ice Cream is ultra-smooth, perfectly creamy, and so easy to make with just a few simple ingredients. It’s the best classic base for toppings, mix-ins, and sundaes, and the Creami gives it that soft, scoopable texture every single time. Perfect for cozy nights, last-minute dessert cravings, or anytime you want a quick homemade treat without the effort.
Ingredients
- 240 ml whole milk
- 120 ml heavy cream
- 70 g confectioners’ sugar
- 2 whole vanilla pods, split and seeds scraped (or 1–1½ teaspoon vanilla extract, if preferred)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
-
Split both vanilla pods lengthwise with a sharp knife. Scrape out the seeds.
-
Add the vanilla seeds, whole milk, heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, and salt to a mixing jug.
-
Whisk until the sugar has fully dissolved and the vanilla seeds are evenly dispersed.
-
Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container. Secure the lid and freeze for 24 hours on a flat surface.
-
The next day, remove the pint from the freezer. Place the pint into the Ninja Creami and run the Ice Cream cycle.
-
If the texture is crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk into the centre and press Mix-In once.
-
Serve immediately for a soft, creamy texture, or freeze again for a firmer scoop.
Recipe Notes
• Freeze the pint on a totally flat shelf
• Add milk and re-spin if the texture seems powdery
• Vanilla extract works great if you’re in a rush
• For extra flavor, stir in crushed cookies on the Mix-In cycle
• Let the ice cream soften for a few minutes before scooping
