Notes
- If too crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk and respin.
- Flatten leftovers before freezing to prevent damage to the blade.
- Taste the ice cream base before freezing – it should be slightly sweeter than you prefer since freezing dulls the flavor.
- Flatten the surface before refreezing so the Ninja Creami blade doesn’t get damaged.
- To enjoy later: Let thaw for a few minutes or microwave (on ice cream setting).
- Re-spin if needed for a fresh, creamy texture.
- If you used mix-ins, note that nuts, cookies, or chocolate chips will get pulverized.
