Ninja Creami Vanilla Ice Cream Recipes

Every recipe on this site is made without guar gum or pudding mix. That's the idea behind these Ninja Creami vanilla ice cream recipes: a short list of real ingredients, spun until it comes out creamy.

There are six vanilla bases here, one for each way people tend to eat. Pick the one that fits, serve it plain, or use it to start something classic, fruity, or a little unusual.

Vanilla Ice Cream for Every Diet

• Classic vanilla base: Half and half, cottage cheese, and sweetened condensed milk. Start here if you don't have a diet to work around.
• Keto vanilla ice cream: Cream cheese and monk fruit take the place of the cottage cheese and condensed milk. Use this one when you're counting carbs.
• Sugar-free vanilla bean ice cream: The classic base with allulose instead of condensed milk.
• Low-calorie vanilla ice cream: Oat milk and low-fat cottage cheese on the Lite Ice Cream setting, at about 60 calories a serving.
• High-protein vanilla ice cream: A Fairlife protein shake and cottage cheese, with no protein powder or pudding mix, at about 52 grams of protein per pint. The post also includes a chocolate version.
• Dairy-free vanilla ice cream: Coconut milk and oat milk, sweetened with agave or allulose, with no dairy at all.

Make It Your Own
