Strawberry Ice Cream (Ninja Creami)
Directions
- 1Add the small diced strawberries and sugar to an empty CREAMi™ Pint.
- 2Mash the strawberries a bit using a fork, and allow them to sit for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to macerate the strawberries.
- 3Once the strawberries are somewhat jammy and no large chunks are left behind, add in the heavy cream, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt.
- 4Stir to combine all ingredients.
- 5Freeze the pint on a level surface in the freezer, with the lid off, for 24 hours.
- 6Once you remove the pint from the freezer, optionally allow it to sit on the counter for ~15-20 minutes before spinning to create a smoother ice cream.
- 7Place the pint in the outer bowl, and lock the lid on top.
- 8Place the bowl assembly on the motor base, twist the handle right to raise the platform, and lock it in place.
- 9Process on the Ice Cream setting.
- 10Scrape down the sides if needed for a creamier texture.
- 11Add a small splash of heavy cream or milk, and run the Respin program 1x.
- 12Enjoy your strawberry ice cream.

Tips
- 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.
