Step-by-Step Instructions

How to Make Ninja Creami Strawberry Ice Cream

1. Add all ingredients to a blender.
2. Blend until completely smooth (30–45 seconds).
3. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container up to the max fill line.
4. Secure the lid and freeze for 24 hours until fully solid.
5. Remove the lid, place the pint in the Ninja Creami, and select Lite Ice Cream.
6. If the texture is crumbly, add 1–2 tbsp milk and select Re-spin. Repeat once if needed.
7. For mix-ins, create a well in the center, add toppings, and run the Mix-in setting.
8. Serve immediately.

Pro Tips for Best Results

• Run the frozen pint under warm water for 30–60 seconds before processing.
• Always re-spin if the first cycle produces a powdery texture.
• Use xanthan gum and pudding mix for scoopable, non-icy results.
