What You’ll Need

Tools:

• Your trusty Ninja Creami (either the Original or Deluxe model will work).
• A Ninja Creami pint container.
• A whisk—or just use a fork if that’s what you’ve got handy.

Ingredients:

• 1 ¾ cups Fairlife Whole Milk—This keeps things creamy but still light.
• 3 tablespoons Jell-O Lemon Pudding Mix—For that bright, zesty lemon punch.
• 1 tablespoon Torani Peach Syrup—Adds sweet peachy goodness.
• 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract for extra flavor.

Swaps & Tips:

• Need it dairy-free? Use almond or oat milk. It might not be as creamy, but still delicious.
• No peach syrup? Try honey or peach puree instead. Just adjust the sweetness to taste.

How to Make It

Step 1: Mix it Together

Grab your pint container and toss in all the ingredients—milk, pudding mix, peach syrup, and whiskey. Whisk (or fork-stir) for about 2 minutes until it’s smooth.

What you’re looking for: No lumps! The pudding mix will make it slightly thick.

Pro Tip: If the pudding mix clumps up, just keep stirring—it’ll dissolve with a little patience.

Step 2: Freeze

Pop the lid on your pint container and place it flat in the freezer. Let it freeze for at least 24 hours. No shortcuts here—this step is crucial for creamy gelato!

Avoid this mistake: Don’t freeze it at an angle. Uneven freezing = uneven texture.

Step 3: Process in the Ninja Creami

After freezing, take the pint out and set it up in your Ninja Creami. Select the “Gelato” setting, hit start, and let the magic happen.

Not creamy enough? Use the “Re-spin” function until it’s silky smooth. Seriously, this feature is a lifesaver!

Step 4: Enjoy!

Scoop your gelato into bowls or cones and dig in. It’s best eaten fresh—so don’t wait too long!

Ideas to Mix Things Up

Want to make this recipe your own? Try these variations:

• Dairy-Free Version: Use plant-based milk and vegan pudding mix.
• Sugar-Free Option: Swap out the peach syrup for a sugar-free version or go with monkfruit syrup.
• Add a Spice Kick: Sprinkle in some ground ginger or cinnamon for extra warmth.
• Seasonal Twist: In the summer, use fresh peach puree for a burst of real fruit flavor. In the winter, try adding nutmeg or cloves for a cozy vibe.

Feeling fancy? Top your gelato with fresh peach slices, a twist of lemon zest, or a drizzle of extra peach syrup. Want to keep it simple? It’s just as good on its own.

Storing Leftovers

If you somehow have any left (unlikely), store it in the Ninja pint container. Keep it in the freezer for up to a week. When you’re ready to eat, let it sit out for 5–10 minutes or use the Ninja Creami’s “Re-spin” setting to bring back that creamy texture.

Final Thoughts

This Lemon Peach Gelato is seriously good. It’s sweet, zesty, and just creamy enough to feel indulgent. Whether you’re making it for friends or enjoying it solo, you’re going to love every bite. Got leftovers? Nah, who are we kidding—you won’t.
