Look, I get it. Ninja Creami Sweet Potato Marshmallow Ice Cream sounds like a stretch. But hear me out: once you spin this in your Ninja Creami, it transforms into this thick, creamy, vanilla-kissed scoop that tastes like the best part of sweet potato casserole. Then you stir in actual torch-toasted marshmallows (we're talking real char here), and suddenly it all makes sense.
Four ingredients. One pint. Zero regrets.
If you're into this kind of cozy, nostalgic flavor situation, you'll want to try my Cinnamon Churro Ice Cream and Spiced Hot Chocolate Ice Cream next — same warm, bakery-counter energy, just wearing different sweaters.

🛒Ingredients
- Sweet Potato (baked or boiled) – naturally sweet and creamy

Add-Ins & Swaps

Step-by-Step Instructions

- Add mix-ins. Scoop a little well in the center, drop in the torched marshmallows, then run the Mix-In cycle.
- Serve and enjoy!
🍒Topping & Mix-In Ideas
- Extra toasted marshmallows on top (always yes)

👪Serving Size
This recipe is made for the Ninja CREAMi Deluxe, yielding 4 servings per pint.
If you’re using a standard 16-ounce Ninja Creami pint instead of the Deluxe 24-ounce, just use two-thirds of each ingredient. Think of it as filling the pint about the same way. Just a little less of everything.

- Blender: Makes mixing ingredients effortless.
- Ninja CREAMi Deluxe 11-in-1 Ice Cream & Frozen Treat Maker: The star of the show, perfect for creating creamy, smooth ice cream.

Recipe Tips

- Always freeze at least 24 hours
- Respin is expected — don’t panic
- Blend thoroughly to avoid grainy texture
Recipe FAQs
You can, but the toasted flavor is what makes this special. Untoasted marshmallows = way less depth.

Ninja Creami Sweet Potato Marshmallow Ice Cream
Equipment

- 24 oz Ninja Creami Pint Container
- 1 Blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked sweet potato peeled
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup half and half
- ¾ cup marshmallows torched
Instructions
- Cook sweet potato until very soft; cool and peel.
- Torch marshmallows until deeply golden.
- Blend sweet potato, condensed milk, half and half until smooth.
- Pour into a Deluxe pint and freeze flat for 24 hours.

Notes
- Crumbly after first spin? Normal. Respin fixes it.
- Too thick? Add 1–2 tablespoons half and half, then Respin.
- Grainy texture? Blend longer next time — sweet potato needs to be silky smooth.
- Weak marshmallow flavor? Torch the marshmallows darker. That caramelization matters.
