Tired of complicated ice cream recipes? This one uses a secret pantry staple—instant pudding mix—to create the creamiest, smoothest vanilla ice cream you’ll ever make in your Ninja Creami. It’s practically foolproof and tastes like a dream.

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
  • 1 ½ cups Whole Milk
  • ½ cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, whisk the instant pudding mix and whole milk together for about 2 minutes until completely smooth. You want to make sure there are no lumps.
  2. Add Richness: Gently stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until everything is just combined.
  3. Freeze Solid: Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container. Be careful not to fill past the max line. Secure the lid and place the pint on a level surface in your freezer for a full 24 hours.
  4. First Spin: Once frozen solid, place the pint into the outer bowl, attach the blade, and lock it into your Creami. Press the “Ice Cream” button.
  5. Perfect the Texture: After the first spin, check the texture. If it looks a bit powdery or crumbly (this is common!), place it back in the machine and use the “Re-spin” button. This usually does the trick for a perfectly smooth consistency.

Notes

  • Serving Suggestions: This vanilla ice cream is glorious on its own, but it’s also the perfect partner for warm brownies, apple pie, or a sundae bar with all your favorite toppings.
  • Pro Tip: If your ice cream is still crumbly after a re-spin, add just 1 tablespoon of cold milk and re-spin one more time. It will bring everything together into a super creamy texture.
  • Storage & Re-Spinning: Smooth the top of any leftover ice cream and refreeze it right in the pint. When you want another scoop, don’t try to dig it out! Simply pop it back into the machine and use the “Re-spin” function to return it to its original creamy glory.
