Tired of icy homemade frozen treats? This simple recipe uses your Ninja Creami to create the creamiest, most flavorful strawberry gelato you’ve ever had. It’s a taste of Italy, made right in your kitchen!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 141​ cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 41​ cup granulated sugar (or monkfruit sweetener)
  • 43​ cup milk (2% or whole milk works best)
  • 41​ cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Prep the Berries: In a medium bowl, stir the sliced strawberries and sugar together. Let them sit on the counter for about 10 minutes. The sugar will draw out the natural juices, creating a delicious syrup.
  2. Blend the Base: Transfer the entire berry mixture (syrup and all!) to a blender. Blend until completely smooth. Stir in the milk and heavy cream until just combined.
  3. Freeze Solid: Pour the strawberry base into a Ninja Creami pint container, making sure not to fill past the max fill line. Secure the lid and freeze on a level surface for at least 24 hours. The base must be frozen solid.
  4. Spin to Perfection: Place the frozen pint into your Ninja Creami and select the GELATO function. After the first spin, it will likely look powdery or crumbly—this is normal! Just place it back in and press the RE-SPIN button. If needed, add 1 tablespoon of cold milk and re-spin one more time for an extra creamy texture.

Notes

  • Tip for Success: The better your strawberries, the better your gelato! Use the freshest, ripest, reddest berries you can find for the most intense flavor.
  • Serving Suggestions: This gelato is best enjoyed immediately after spinning. Serve it in chilled bowls to keep it from melting too fast. It’s wonderful alongside a shortbread cookie or a slice of angel food cake.
  • Storage Instructions: Store any leftovers right in the lidded Creami pint in the freezer. When you’re ready for more, the gelato will be frozen solid again. No worries! Just run it through the RE-SPIN cycle to bring it back to that perfect, creamy consistency.
