This recipe makes a rich, creamy, and satisfying M&M ice cream that tastes way better than anything you’ll find at the store. The Ninja Creami does all the heavy lifting, so you get a perfect soft-serve texture every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  •  cup whole milk
  • ½ cup half and half
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • ¼ cup M&Ms

Instructions

  1. Make the base. In a blender, combine the milk, half and half, sugar, pudding mix, and vanilla. Blend until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Freeze it up. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, staying below the max fill line. Place it in the freezer on a level surface for a full 24 hours until it’s a solid block.
  3. Spin it. Remove the pint from the freezer and place it into the outer bowl of your Ninja Creami. Lock the lid and press the “ICE CREAM” button.
  4. Respin if needed. If your ice cream looks crumbly, add a tablespoon of milk and hit the “RESIN” button. You might need to do this a couple of times for a super creamy texture.
  5. Mix in the M&Ms. Once the ice cream is smooth, use a spoon to dig a small well in the center. Pour in the M&Ms. Put the pint back in the machine and select “MIX-IN”. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For a lighter version, you can use low-fat milk, but the texture might be a little icier.
  • The pudding mix is key! It acts as a stabilizer and helps prevent ice crystals from forming.
  • Serving: This is best eaten right out of the pint. For a nice presentation, you can scoop it into a bowl and top with a few extra M&Ms.
  • Storage: If you have leftovers, smooth the top and put the lid back on the container. Freeze it until you’re ready to eat it again.
  • Re-spinning leftovers: The next day, your ice cream will be rock hard. Just put the pint back in the Ninja Creami and re-spin it to get that perfect soft-serve texture back.
