Ingredients
8 oz. fresh strawberries (washed and diced small)
8 oz. fresh strawberries (washed and diced small)
8 oz. fresh strawberries (washed and diced small)
0.33 cup granulated sugar (use more or less depending on your preference)
0.33 cup granulated sugar (use more or less depending on your preference)
0.33 cup granulated sugar (use more or less depending on your preference)
Prep in advance: Allow your pint at least 24 hours to freeze before spinning.
Avoid icy edges: Run your pint container under warm water for 30 seconds before running it through the Ninja Creami machine, or run a butter knife or spoon along the sides after the initial spin.
Respins: If your ice cream isn’t smooth and creamy after the first respin, you can respin until you get your desired consistency.
Don’t overfill the container: The ice cream will expand in volume as it spins.
Time Saving Tip: Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth, then pour into the Creami pint and freeze. However, macerating the strawberries creates super-flavorful ice cream.
Mix-ins: Add after the Respin cycle, then press the Mix-Ins cycle. Or add them to the top after mixing.
Frozen strawberries may be used but need to be thawed and mashed. The Creami blade is not designed to process uneven chunks or pieces of frozen fruit.
Any type of milk can be used, but heavy cream will produce the thickest, creamiest texture.
